Default 5 Upgrades?

I was wondering what the first upgrades to my 99 Vette should be? I want long tubes and maybe a cam? Suggestions?

F the LS6, the second you throw a cam in it will fall off over 5500. I would get

FAST/BBK intake
Some sort of air intake (Vararam, Callaway)
A tune
Decent tires
And a stall/shifter depending on the trans

Just throwing out there that bbk has zero gains over an ls6 intake.

I personally would do in order

Long tubes
Ls6 intake
Cam

The fast is the best intake so if you have extra cash go for it.
