Default Any Suggestions for lil more power?

I got a 4.8 had it for about a year and am now just doing some mods to it. I got a flowmaster muffler but I just put a cutout on so I alwasy leave it open lol. Last night I just put on an Airraid Intake tube with the stock box taht has a k&n. Not looking for mass mass power cuz well i kno thatll cost alot. But as far as headers go. I kno Gibson makes some and wanted to kno if anyone here as used them and do they like'em? Are there any of brands that make some for my 4.8? Doing a cam sawp later on but not rgiht now. Can yall reccommend any other popular mods to make a lil more power for the 4.8? Thx in advance for the info guys.

Tyler

78~ I would say to go with a set of ASM long tube headers. Also a cam would do you good. A convertor like a yank 3000 would help you out in the speed department. A STS turbo kit wouldn'y hurt as well

Tyler~ ASM headers can go anywhere from 650-800. You can also find them in the classified section on this sight every once in awhile. Where are you located???? I bet that there is a good tuner in your area that can help you out. Also e-fans are a excelent mod. You can get them very cheap from a junk yard out of a C-4 or C-5 vette.
