Headers (long tubes), gears and a tune go a long way. Skip the underdrives. Cold air is worth minimal gains but I like how they look better (personal preference). Go with a JLT vs bbk. The plastic of the jlt won't heat soak like the metal bbk.

Don't do canned tunes from bama. Go to a reputable tuner AFTER all your mods are complete. Buy one at a time and save them up for all in one install if needed.

A set of cams will really wake up a pi motor as well but things start getting costly then.

Better gearing if you have not done it yet, you didn't mention stick or auto.

Like stated above.

Under drives are a waste of time and money. Do not buy a canned tune they suck, go to a reputable tune shop after you have installed your mods.

Headers, gears, tune.....

The intake is nice but without cams it's a waste of time. The benefit would be nominal.
