Headers are ok to start with but your best bet for improvement per dollar spent is a good stall converter and some drag radials to support it.
I don't think anyone will disagree with me on that point.

anyone that has been around here a while would agree with this ^

good stall means quality brand such as yank , circle d ,vigilante etc.. 3600-4000 range is most common.

No one mod other than nitrous will make as profound a difference in how badass the car will be than stall but it will turn into such a tire frying machine at any speed that it can kickdown to 1st gear that the dr's will be necessary to get the full benefit.
