Default What should my next mod be

my current mods and et are in my sig. i have sfc on the way (should be here middle of the week). but what should i do next? if i do long tubes i have to have cats now but what about tune. i would like to do a cam swap over the winter so i'll probably get it tuned when i'm done with that. i want to get 12.4 to 12.5 1/4s and then spray it. what should i do or am i heading in the right direction.

Stay away from longtubes with your catback unless you like rasp. I'd get some BFG drag radials and watch your ET drop.

You could do some gears, Long tubes, LS6 intake manifold, pullies, tires.

I think gears+tires will make you smile a lot right now

i have drag radials for the car but run my street tires most of the time. i don't mind rasp as long as the car gets louder. i'm leaning towards headers but want to research them all before i purchase any. like i said in my first post i have to run cats. as far as turbo: no thanks, i prefer N/A with a little shot of juice. thanks for replys so far

Definitly headers, if you really dont mind rasp, clamp a dynomax bullet glasspack to the end of each header. Its what I use and it sounds kick *** as well as being a cheap exhaust system

If you have 2.73's some 3.42's would be a good mod, if you have 3.23's i'd leave them in there. If you do buy LT's and run high flow cats the rasp with the LM shouldn't be bad. Good luck
