I have a little to spend and want to get the best performance with the money I have. I already have the mods in my signature and am thinking about a set of underdrive pulleys, Pacesetter headers, a cam (Comp recommended 54-412-11), and the retune for them.
What kind of gain would you expect from that? Might be better off ditching the pulleys and swapping my 3.42s for some 3.73s (I like to cruise ~95mph and don't want 4.10s). What would you guys do?

I agree with Justin, the benefits of pulleys don't really outweigh the labor, price, etc. I would go with everything else though; fans, headers, cam, tune. But the most bang for your buck would be some nitrous. I would also get some 3.73's and a locker too. All the power in the world doesn't mean squat if it doesn't get put to the pavement right. LQ9 is probably the best thing you can do though. Buy it, get what ever you can get with the leftover cash and build as you can. When you have everything you want, motor swap time.

They are a decent gain...and it has to come off for the cam anyway, why put the stock one back on, when you can just put this one on?
