Default Need some advice...

I am going to do for sure a cam, maybe even a heads and cam set-up, but my dilema is that I have been out of the game for LS1 parts for about 3 years and I know things have changed...

I need to purchase:

Headers
Y-pipe
Catback
Air Lid
Intake
TB
MAF Housing

I am going to lighten up the car as much as possible so I think I will go ahead and get a lightweight k-member and a-arms.

Any help would be appreciated since I will more then likely purchase all of this within 2-3 months...

For my 00 SS...

QTP headers
QTP catted y
GMMG catback
TSP lid
Jantzer TB

I'm not touching the MAF. I'll also leave the LS1 intake on until I do a cam, and when that happens, i'll go with a LS6.

First off, I want to say I sincerely appreciate the current offer of advice. It helps out a lot.

Here is a little more info about my current car situation. My engine screwed up on me early part of 2001. I parked the truck and pulled the engine and sold it. I have not had any time to mess with it until recently. The car is currently engineless, need some paint and bodywork. I will take care of that and the performance end in these next two to three months. I want to do a cranking heads and cam set-up(cam for sure), all bolt-ons to make the cam more efficient, and I need to get a torque converter, because I have a fully built 4L60E ready to drop in when all this comes together. I will also add a 12 bolt within a month or two after the rest of the work is done.
