well if he has the runners first, then those "other things" will be even more beneficial at the time of their purchase, just a thought

true, all the mods will pretty much play off each other, kinda like how a K&N on a stock engine is almost useless, but will make alot more power compared to paper filter on a supercharged engine. iv just heard people loosing HP and TQ using new runners with little or no other mods,

Don't get runners first. Your stock ones were designed for a 305, and Im sure they are good for at least 100+ horsepower over stock. If you haven't gotten new exhaust yet, that would be a better idea.

HEADERS, HEADERS, HEADERS & new cat. Maybe a chip/tuning. Forget the intake side until you're in the 13s with that 305.
