Default LT1...next mod?

I was just wanting some assistance on choosing my next mod for my LT1.I was thinking about UDP's but I have hear of too many charging probs with them.I dont think it would be worth the 1-2 HP any way.I am debating on
3:73 gears or maybe some pacesetter headers.Any ideas from you guys would be helpful.Trying to knock about .2 off the car for around $200-$300.

Gears are really fun. I put 4.10s in my car, completely different feeling. With a M6 you are looking at barely turning about 2200 rpm at 70 in 6th, so you aren't really sacrificing anything. Well maybe traction.

I know most LT1 owners prefer 4:10's because they do allow for better ET's but I dont want to short live my Diff by going too big.The car is a DD.

I don't know about how much you are going to short live the diff, I mean look at it this way. Gears apply horsepower in a more aggressive way by keeping your motor revved higher gear to gear, the headers will just apply more horsepower to them all the time.
