If so and he has the 2.73 then the gears would be the best mod. But after that i would suggest getting a CAI. The car has to breathe. If he can get the whole headers with all the hardware installed for $500 then i would go that route.

LOW 11s w/ no internal mods?? I'd have to see it to believe it, there's no way. The LS1 is a good engine, but not THAT good. Unless the car weighs 3000 lbs race weight and on slicks I don't see it happening.

A stall and gears would cut .5-.7 seconds off of your 1/4. Along with what most everyone else has said, it's best to puchase most of your parts used if at all possible.
I wouldn't even bother with valvetrain until you have enough money for at least a cam/rockers/springs etc. You can find a used cai from $100-$150. Gears can get quite expensive if you're having them installed. I got a complete rear end with 3.73's and a T/A girdle for $350 and had it installed for around $100. You can also find a decent set of used headers anywhere from $250 up to $500 depending on size and brand.
I'd say go with a used cai and a 2800 stall. You can substitute headers for the stall if you'd prefer...
Just my $.02

Headers is kinda streching the 500$ mark, come on guys, unless youre a welder and a mechanic one or the other is going to have to be farmed out. If you do go headers dont mess around with 1 5/8s. Look up the 1.7 rockers, alot of people are seeing some nice gains with those on stock motors. Gears also would be nice they give a decent bang for the buck , but stickies will have to soon follow to keep from spinning at the track.

As far as the 1.7 rr's, don't get them unless you plan on staying with your stock cam or another cam with a small lift...otherwise just go with NSA 1.6's if you want rockers...
