How much KR do you see now with the stock pulley? If none, I'd get an MPS w/ 3.5" SC pulley and see how it goes.

I would get the rockers before headers. You'll see bigger gains, and shouldn't need to tune much for them, and might be able to drop to 3.4" or better with a good tune, and without headers.

I was much more impressed with the rockers than most of my other mods because they added HP in the upper RPMs - right where we need it bad. It's like bolt-on VTEC for a pushrod V6 designed 50 years ago.

the rockers and pulley will definitely give you the instant foot-to-pedal gratification whereas headers not so much
