depends what you're more into...looks or go fast? looks can always improve with a wheel change. i started with a couple of suspension parts before i did my motor stuff. but most people will start with engine first so in that case i'd go headers, and i see you have cold air and cat back so you're good there. gears are a good idea. if its an auto i'd consider a torque converter as well. after i get my car painted i'll be getting a torque converter as my next mod

i got pacesetters while i was trying to find something else and then my dad got them for a bday present for me so i wasn't going to turn them down. heard decent things about hooker. kooks are by far the best, but not many can afford them. i've been looking on ls1tech.com and supposedly there is a company that is in the process of making a stainless steel header for lt1's and are going to try to offer them for about 300 less than kooks. if all that turns out, even i may be forking my money out for some. i'll try to keep ya updated or you can get on ls1tech.com and look in the lt1 section

Pacesetter coated headers fit really well for the LS1. For the price I would do Pacesetter coated LT's and a 3" ypipe, that is going to be $550 if you can do off road, or a little under 700 for a catted ypipe (remember if you buy LT's u need to buy a new ypipe to match). i dont know what I would use the other 300 for. If you look hard you can find rims for $500 and u could swap ur tires over.
