Default What Part Next?

Im wondrering what I should get next
as far as performance add on's go
not really trying to get to radical with my set up
just want some good clean power
i have a BBk cold Air Intake
And BBK Shorty Headers that are about to go in soon
and I was Wondering If Anyone had any Ideas?

Oh and if anyone can tell me what I Torque my Headers down at I would be thankfull?

not sure on the torque specs, but i highly reccommend going with 4:10 gearing and get a tuner.

they really dont do much to your gas mileage on the setup you have, you might lose 1mph on highway, if you keep it under 75mph on the highway the mpg loss is almost non existant, plus, if you get a tuner and put in the performance tune that will bump yer mpg up a bit. you will see better fuel economy in the city too.

im averaging 20/21 cty/hwy, other mods include light suspension work, xpipe, no mufflers, and a mach 1 intake setup, and diablosport tuner.

dont fear the gear! bang for the buck it will give you the best added accelleration unless yer willing to do nitrous.

I dont think ima step it up to nitrous quite yet
and i dont care about my gas milage at all
I Live in Las Vegas, so my longest drive is 10-15 mins because I dont drive during Rush Hour
I will consider the Gear Swap for sure
what does a Nice Gear setup Go for?

I dont know if you know, but wouldu say shorty Headers would be hard to put in
(I have every Tool you could possibly need)

Something is wrong w/ your car if your mileage is that bad (unless you get that mileage in rush hour traffic) because I get 21 mpg driving around town also.
