Headers dont give enough hp by themselves for the price. Depending on your price, superchargers are good. If you don't care about gas mileage, you could change to a 4.56 rear end - that'll wake her up.

Of course, heads and a cam will definitely do the trick. Really everything has to work together. You can change the intake to a cold air, but then you need to change the throttle body to take advantage, then you need to get heads and a cam to take advantage of that. Then maybe you need a more powerful fuel pump and bigger injectors to help. Then you need a good exhaust to help all of that! It never ends. The computer can adjust to some of that okay, but you need to go with big bucks. Speed is never cheap.

4.56 gears dont affect your mileage, if anything they improve it... As for new mods for more power anything after the basics like you have now (programer/exhaust/CAI) will more than likely end up costing around a grand per mod if not more.

For your next step I would go Gears/Headers/Cam

Go with the gears first you wont regret them... Although you should be able to walk away from the POS right now with your setup, the Cummins may take a bit more though...
