Help me out! Which mods should I do next?
So, my birthday's coming up and between my brother and other family, I'm looking at $400 or a little less. But I'm not sure what mods to do next on my car. Check out my sig. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Headers would be your best bet for now. You usually get the headers before the cam. But as far as which kind? personally i'd go with LT's, but mid's do just fine. you can most likely pick up a used set of either of about $300. and install is pretty easy. i'm sure you can find someone around here that would do it for you for a good price.

I always thought installation of headers was a huge job, but if it's not difficult I would be doing it myself.
Anyway- My question: If I go with headers, which kind for my exhaust? This past fall I installed an American Thunder Flowmaster exhaust. That's a single pipe from the dual cats goint straight to a muffler, then dual exhaust pipes exiting. If I go with headers, I need something that I can keep this exhaust system.

Hooker LT's will run you around $380 from Summit or Jegs. I suggest these. You'll also want to get some fel pro gaskets instead of the crap paper ones they come with as well as stage 8 locking header bolts. You'll never have to recheck the header bolts with these as well as get those exhaust leaks. It'll cost you a little over 400, but will be well worth it. You could wait until you get more money and put some Magnum 1.6 rr's while you're at it. Both of these mods will give you a good 30hp gain.

Does anyone know any installation instructions that might help me- any links?

Felpro 1406 gaskets and ARP 3/8" head header bolts. The Stage 8s suck with LTs, IMO. Not enough room to fit the locks on there.
