Default Suggestions on first mods on denali 6.2

I had been looking for a truck to toy with when i ran across the deal of the century this week. The truck was built for sema this year and after the show the buyer decided to sell it and start a new project. Although i didn't really want a bagged truck the price was just to good to pass up. I am looking for suggestions on what route to go first.

1. whipple or pro charger first then cam, headers etc

or

2. cam, springs, headers, tune, torque converter, then charger last

I don't have the money to do it all at once, i just didn't know if there was a benefit from going one way or the other first?

Here are a few pics of the truck I'm starting with.

That truck is gorgeous! As far as mods, I would start with your second option first, that way you will already have pretty much all your supporting mods done when it comes time for forced induction.

Start with a custom tune. The stock tune is LAME on the 6.2 trucks.

Then you can upgrade your cam/springs/pushrods later, get a free retune from your tuner..... And go FI when you can afford to.

Did you get any details on how they did the bedsides? Looks really nice, most of the time, the Caddy front end gets done but the bedsides don't. Kinda looks funny that way, but yours looks great! Congrats.

Thanks guys, the bedsides are escalade as well. As for headers i have heard that kooks are the best but they are very expensive, is there any that perform as well that cost any less ? I am not trying to half *** the truck just wanna make sure im not throwing money away.
