lol. yeah yeah thats what they all say. well a good intake and magnaflow exhaust and hptuners is a good baby step. you have to decide do you want turbo later or supercharger later. if you want turbo i wouldn't get any headers because they would be replaced later when you got the turbo unless of course you went rear mount. if your going to get a supercharger later then by all means get headers now. don't get shorties there useless. go longtubes if your going to do any at all. pacesetters are cheap and from what i gather are rather good headers. volant i think it is make a good cai that has a ram air duct that mount down behind the valance. i think thats where it goes or maybe behind the tow hooks. i love my magnaflow exhaust. the one that was on my silverado, my car, and my tahoe. personally i think hptuners is the ****. they have GREAT customer service. after my truck burnt they help me get my little box going again that got flamed alittle by the fire. so thats my take and opinion on the baby step stuff.
