Default Need Input on Air Intake, Headers, Chips

Hello - New to the forums, I own a 2006 Chevy Silverado, ext cab, 2wd, 5.3 v8. I have only owned the truck a couple of months now, and all I have done is put on a Corsa Sport Performance Exhaust Dual Rear. Very Very happy with this. Any hoot, looking to add more to the engine to help improve performance. Looking at AirRaid Air Intake kits, Programmable chips/units, and possible headers. What are your thoughts on these, and which order would you do them in? Any preferred brands for any of the above, or bad experiences with these combos!

Thanks in advance!

Not familiar with the Nelson Tune. Can you fill a noob in? I look around their website, but what do you recommend?
Thanks!

you could always build your own intake for like 50 bucks at the most.... but K&N or air raid will work good to
