Well I have a 01 SS that is all stock. I just wanna know what the best things to do first is? Im not gonna boost it im gonna spray it eventually.. I know its gonna need exhaust and people tell me to put a converter in it(I don't know what size) and then I was gonna get it tuned. Later down the road im gonna put heads,cam, and nitrous( I already have the nitrous kit) Ive been out of the loop for about 10-15 years so I don't know what the best thing to do first is. It does have drag radials on it now but motor is all stock.

Transmission and rearend should be the first upgrades. Dana 60 is probably the strongest rearend option, Ford 9" is 2nd, and GM 12bolt is last. Don't try to upgrade the stock 10 bolt. If you throw more torque at a 10 bolt, you will have a rearend with a lot of pieces in it pretty soon. And, blowing your rearend can cause transmission damage too. Headers, cam, and 90mm intake blew up my 10bolt, which took out my transmissino too.
For the OP, 1-7/8" headers, full exhaust, air lid, and a ram air kit is a good place to start. If I could start from scratch I would have gone with a 3.5" or 4" outlet on the Y-pipe, or TD's out the back. Cam choice is dependent on your goals with the car an how much nitrous you plan to use. Heads are very budget dependent, best you can afford and I would say the same for the intake.
