I'm looking to upgrade the headers for that extra bit of power and decibels. The work will be done at a local shop (TBD)

While upgrading, are there any other parts to add on? I am thinking:

- Aluminum driveshaft
- Oil pump gears

I'm running the Roush stage 2 SC and other other stuff in my signature. Car is used for cruising, occasional track and autocross days. Not a daily driver.

If you are running decent power with your S/C setup. Oil pump gears are not a bad thing to have.

You have a lot covered. The only thing you MIGHT want to think about in the future is possibly upgrading the axles to a higher HP rated set if you are still running the stockers. Not pressing until one lets go, and depending on how hard you beat on it on track days, that might never happen, it might be the very next time you're out there.

nothing else is required when doing headers, really comes down to what you are looking for and your budget and goals.

Your always welcom to reach out and we can discuss your build and help you spend the budget you have set aside in the best areas.
