Default Mod Advice

12 GS M6. $5,000 budget. Suggestions for engine mods. Car is a daily driver now, but won't be for much longer. I want to maintain drivability. Car may see the occasional HPDE event or trip to the drag strip. Whatever mods are done, I want to maintain the stock NPP exhaust. What will get me the most bang for my buck?

Headers, cam, tune
intake, cam, tune
headers, intake, tune

other suggestions?

All work will be done proffessionally so that needs to be figured into the budget.

Thoughts, recommendations, experiences appreciated.

Oh.....located in Tampa FL.

I'll go with #1. Anything with the word 'cam' in it will make it go faster.
You have a good intake....a little cool air would help tho.
