Depends on many things: Appearance? Performance? Budget? Your goals? Etc. etc.

yeah headers or LS6 intake and maybe a handheld tuner or dyno tune. If you're going to do lots more power mods soon then maybe hold off on a dyno tune until more is done.

Is this an auto or manual?

If auto, get a stall.

If manual, go for the lt's.

Pacestetter 1 3/4 headers to an X-Flow exshust system. About $700-$900 installed. (pending where you go to get them) go with 2.5Inch piping so its not very loud. (loud cars get followed by cops)

Seriously go for the X-Flow piping it creates a mass suction that sucks exshust from your heads. In simple terms makes your motor breath alot easier.

I looked in your profile and saw that you have an auto trans. If you plan on racing from a dig, stall baby all the way. Provided you can hook up. But over all if track times are not as important to you right now then I think you would be most pleased with longtubes. You just can't compete with the fun factor for the price. The car will pull harder and sound alot meaner doing it.
