You will still be missing 45 cubes and better heads.

Headers, which you just got.
Cat-back
3:42 gears
higher stall TC like a 2200 or so.

That should get you low 14s. And it will all be there later if you want a 350.

I'd say an estimate of 20hp for the headers and y.

Gears, Richmond, $200 and install kit of $100. Though gears are tricky to install, plan on spending $200 or so to get them done for labor.

A TC is around $3-400 or so.

use what you got untill it breaks then upgrade engines..

like Mark said, gears would help alot of the line, and also a stall converter...
