First thing I'd buy is some long tube headers with a Y pipe. Since you're from AL the pacesetters will probably work, although I still prefer a stainless header. I would get those installed and get a tune at the same time. Keep in mind the more mods you do the harder it is to tune remotely.
I have tuning software and work with wheatley, I have a lot of faith in him and his tuning ability. We work very closely together on my truck's tune to get is spot on.
If you plan to do a cam it may be worth while to drive a couple hours to Engine Power Systems and have a dyno tune done. His name is Geoff Skinner and he is located in Baton Rouge LA.
For all I know there could be someone closer, but Geoff knows his way around an LSx!

Is this your daily driver?
Post #10 by gamble686, is probably your best friend right now.
That being said, if I could do it all over again with my truck I would skip the BS, and go straight to gears, stalled 4l80e swap, Trick or KB turbo kit, and a dyno/street tune. With $700 a month to spend on a project, you'll be there in no time. NO build happens overnight, start looking at the project section, I learned so much by seeing how smarter men than I do things.

Thanks guys. And i have dualpipes now and I like dual pipes if I keep dual pipes I should do a x pipe instead of a y pipe shouldn't I. That's way I figured out in my research.

Alright so I'm gonna start a new thread now with my build starting with what I'm ordering today. I would appreciate it if tall still gave me advice on it on the new thread. I've already ordered k&n CAI and now I'm fixin to order Pace Setter armor coated headers: primary tubes 1 3/4" and collector is 3". And Motive Gear ring & pinion 4.10 gears

i would hold of on installing the gears until you get some kind of posi to install at the same time. no point in paying someone twice to do the same job. go ahead and order a yukon master install kit to go with everything so your entire rear end will be fresh.
