What are the best shift kit and headers??

Was wondering what the general concensus is on the best headers and shift kit for a '95 Z28. I've heard that LT's are the only way to go with headers, and I know in the thirdgen world the Transgo Shiftkit is popular. But what about here? Thanks.

A good set of LT headers are made by Jet-Hot. They are pretty similar to Hooker I think, and already have the jet hot coating on them.

I agree with the above statement about the Jet Hots, and TransGo is the way to go with 4th gens as well.

Since I've been messing with these cars I've always been told not to do a shift kit because you can do it with the computer. But I hear good things about Trans-Go, but you should swap out the servo with the Corvette servo for the beter shifts.
On the headers, go long tube if emissions allows you to. I've always had long tubes on everything I've owned until I got the Camaro because I was going back to emissions crazy CA. I kicked myself in the *** for that one. In reality they're not that much more and the gains are alot better. Just try to go coated. Trust me, you can litterly put your hands on these things after 10-15 minutes of cool down. That and they look better and last longer.
Good luck!

I'm gonna go with LT's, not sure what ones though. Also gonna delete the cat, no emmision's here! Gonna match it with a Borla exhaust. And for the shiftkit, I think I will go with whatever the performance shop here has in stock. Chances are it will be a B&M, but ya never know. People say bad things about B&M stuff, at least in the thirdgen world, but I have a B&M shift kit, servo, and power clutch pack in my GTA's 700R4 and I love it! Thanks!
