headers or cam

decided on getting pacesetters lt for the headers. question is do i get the headers first or cam? not sure what cam yet, something mild maybe just above stock cam. if i get a mild cam, do i need to start putting in rods etc.? i am not a cam guy so i have no clue.

if you get the cam first, then you will not get the full potential untill you get some headers to go along with it.

I would suggest always starting simple with some bolt-ons first, headers, cold air, exhaust, etc... then move to the internals.

headers first, let that baby breaaaaathe! make sure to get a free flowing y pipe as well to go with your catback. then after that get a nice induction system, a lid (of your preference) and maybe a ram air kit and then move to the bigger and better things good luck with the project man!
