What kind of exhaust work are you talking about that you already had done?

If you dont already have, I'd go with Long Tube Headers, and an X-pipe.

Timing Adjuster, shifter, and alunimum drive shaft wouldnt be all that bad.

Power Pipes and Mass Air Meters on a stock car arent all that much a help. Mix those and a throttle body together you might get some seat of the pants difference. Though some will probably blast me for saying such.

i got all 2 1/2 in. with BBK H-pipe an flows.. as far as headers .. i dont its worth the $350 for the price of the headers an the $400 + labor to have them put in for a lousy 10-12horse.. i already have a shifter..

as far as power pipe an mass air, i've always read pretty good gains from just those 2 mods all with stock TB.

Well, you asked for opinions, and I gave you mine.

How many more mods are you going to do to the car? Plan on adding Boost anytime soon? Or Heads or Cams? If so...you'll more than likely need to step up an injector size or two, then your mass air will be useless.

Just things to consider before spending that kinda cash.
