Default Should I do these basic Mods or not? (L-98)

I have a pretty much stock 1990 L-98 (see sig)

Items planning on doing:

1. Removing the Pre-Cats
2. Getting Free-Flow Cat
3. Getting a Ported Plenum and Runners from TPIS ($80bucks)
5. Relocating the MAT

Iam looking for more horsepower and torque.....

I'd follow what 65Z01 and Vic'89 have done so far. Bolt ons and high 12's around 103-104(Vic has gone 105). Pretty impressive with simple mods. I'm sure they'll chime in.

I personally think relocating the MAT is a joke/band aid. The first 3 are good ideas.
