you already have an aftermarket mid pipe and cat back, i would get cams. the exhaust flows well, so you can go ahead and put a little more through it. i got the magnaflow o/r x and magnapack cat back, they have done great for me so i made the lt's my last mod. is that price with a tune??? a tune is not a have to thing, but is highly recommended.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

I think that you should go with a 270 comp cam or something similar! I will make much more of a difference! but I would definatly do cams first!!

Id got with cams, if you get LT you also have to buy a few more things like O2 extensions and a new mid pipe so get the cams and then get the headers later on. Just my .02

either will be fine. the 270 cams will require a spring change.

Can't beat the cams. I would go with 270, gives you more room for future mods...
