Forget about the rockers, the stock ones are fine, and dont waste money on a the upper panhard bar. Get the stock TB ported.

LT headers, ORY, and LS6 intake should be your main focus...thats where I saw the biggest gains considering where you are at. Do the plugs and wires along with the LT installation, and poly motor mounts.

Small mods would be battery relocation, LCA relocation brackets, and 85mm maf..not that important but I could get you one for cheap (PM me). A tune would help, but not necessary...wait until you get gears.

Medium mods would be an electric water pump and pulley.

As a side note: The LM will be fun with headers but it will get old real fast. Think about possible catbacks/ new resonators (borla xr-1, magnaflow, sweet thunder). Dont get Dynomax bullets, they may be cheap but no improvement. I like loud, Im a big LM fan, but Im sick of it after a year with headers. Consider a quieter c/b (hooker, magnaflow) then get a cutout if loud gets you off.

Hope this helps considering its a summary of the last 6 months of my mod struggle.
