Default Possible Mods

Gentlemen, I've got a 03 w/11k miles and a Honker, wires and Densos, throttle body and tune.I'm now looking at Kooks LT, x and cats with my ti mufflers. Since it'll be in the shop I' m also considering a cam/springs/pushrods and underdrive pulley. Now I know this is just a no brainer but its just a fun driver so I don't want anything that will hurt the cars manners or reliability and not kill me on gas. i know many of you have these mods, so what do you think?

Thank you

I have yet to do heads/cam which is on my list. When I did the headers it was a huge difference with that mod alone. Now having changed the cam in my WS6 I can tell you that you will want to go with a big cam or you will not be happy later on after you get use to it. Especially given the fact that there a many real big cams that are being dialed in and tuned to have almost stock manners and still put out over 500rwhp. As for mpg, it will only be really noticable drop if you put your foot in it. But isn't that why you are looking at doing this anyway?
