Your car is definitely running lean right now. Do some research and see what happens when the car leans-out. I would get a Cobb AP first. I'd rather be on the safer side. Just my $.02

What part of Baltimore? I'm by College Park.

White Marsh, Just above 695.. I was thinking the cobb first also, just because I think I would get more out of it then the headers, don't get me wrong, headers would definitly benefit me. I just can't find anyone really saying how they felt the headers apposed to the cobb..

Asked neverbonestock, I think he did a dyno before and after. But I'm not sure which was installed first. Both add-ons are great but your car will benefit more with tuning.
Have you run it at the track?

I'm going to pick up the headers. Stillen has a real good deal on the Ceramic Coated 409 Stainless Steel Headers for $524. Last time I checked they were $786.

That's a good way of solving the problem. If you can't decide on either one, why not get them both. lol

When I added my Stillen headers to my setup I had impressive gains .. I was in the mid teens with no tune and gained 22 hp with a tune .. Now keep in mind I had Berk HFC and FI exhaust .. I still had not put on my Inens yet .. I think the gains and how this car feels now was worth it .. You have to Pay to Play ..
