it depends on what kind of money you want to spend
qtp w/ HVMC are a great deal IMO (more money of course, but quality and performance better than others)
Pacesetters are good headers. Good bang for the buck. You could also get hookers and get them coated.
But for the money, go w/ qtp and you wont be dissapointed.

i have a pair of hookers and i love them. 
but seriously they are a pretty good bang for the buck i think and they aren't even coated. just regular. 
i'd probably check into ground clearance etc. before you look into true duals also, and whether you want tips or dumps before the rear axel etc. personally i'd get a DMH electric cutout and a aftermarket muffler with a ORY, i think DMH is in cincy if i'm not mistaken also.

hookers are a "cheaper" brand, 
i got mine shipped from summit for under 500 if memory serves correct. and you should have bought headers BEFORE cam etc. and if you dont have it already a ls6 intake and new gears. ( and dont forget a lid ) **** gets expensive i know how the no money thing is i really want my cam now. lol
edit: i would try to get a new set if at all possible, unless they are coated. uncoated you're gonna have rust depending on where the person lives etc. so it'd be better and save $ in the long run to buy new ones USUALLY.

I love my coated pacesetters. Got them from Byunspeed.com (site sponsor) and got a great deal on them. Great deal for the money, for the price, can't be beat. QTP are the best, ill give them that, but are very expensive.

are you building a pure drag car? if not all you really would have NEEDED is new pushrods, valve springs and the cam . . . . all other stock things should have been alright.
