While I'm Getting This Done..
 
I have a pair of pacesetter's coming in in a few weeks. While they are doing this, I asked them to go ahead and order me some plugs and wires since they are already there. In you guys opinions, what else that is not too high priced and an easy change while the headers are put in should I get them to do?

heads cam stall gear ..........y pipe

Heads being on the top side I think wouldnt be any easier with exhaust off no? (I dont do the wrench turning so pardon my lack of knowledge on that). I think a rumpety cam would be in the neighborhood but still a little away from the bottom end away from the header install? Thanks for the input.

A true dual set up with an X-pipe or even just a cut-out would be a god choice while your at that point. Also an under drive pulley?

Good luck!

I'll go with the under drive pully even though I've been thinking about it for weeks because I have an upgraded system w/ 1000k amp, another 375k amp, etc etc etc and havent upgraded to a higher amp alt. How is your converter holding out TXCAMSS?

poly motor mounts.

Change your plugs while you are at it!

The converter is solid as a rock! We ran Sunday at HRP. The wife and I both managed to pull 1.35 60fts with a new best of 10.23@ 131mph locking the converter. It feels pretty tight to me on the street, but it's flashing up around the 4000 rpm mark and giving us the expected mph so it's holding better than a few others that I've had in the past.

Drivers side poly motor mount and a cut-out would good options while you are in there. I don't think the ASP pully would cause any issues with your sound system. My 05 Silverado has a Amp & woofers in it and there's no sign of any less amps and we put a good bit of miles on it since my son is driving now.
