Help with next upgrade for horsepower

Headers are a waste of $$ IMO. The cost does not justify the performance gain. The stock headers really aren't that bad. Also the stock intake is pretty good too and will filter better than the aftermarket ones.

Cat back, test pipes, tune, diff regearing are your best bet.

Outside of forced induction, the cost of 99% of performance parts for our cars don't justify the gains. $500+ intakes, $1200+ exhausts, etc. Lets not kid ourselves

Some of them cat back systems are beautiful though

Sounds to me like I'm at the end of it all unless I want to go forced induction and for me the $$$ don't justify the HP gained. Oh well, it was worth the look. It's a shame there's not more HP there out of such a large engine but I also know there is the balance of reliability vs performance. I get it. I've been playing this game a long time. Thanks to everyone for the input.

You should upgrade the handling performance. Unless you live in the Midwest where it doesn't make sense to.
