I would do cam/valvetrain.
If your doing a converter a cam would work good with that.
IMO you will see minimal gain with a K Member and a big gain with cam/tune.
Unless your car is already really light then the wieght saving from a K Member will not help much. Besides unless you have done a lot of wieght reduction then there are probley other ways to save more weight for the same price as a Kmember.

Of course all the free weight reductions but that depends on how extreme you want to go. you can check the sticky for that.
remove extra wires
Lightweight battery
Wheels/tires
headers
short exhaust
lightweight seats
torque converter
ABS delete
A kmember is going to save you what 15-30 lbs depending on style/strength/material used and cost 400-700
A dry cell light weight battery will save you over 20lbs.
