Headers or MSD intake/Lt5 TB

I own a 2018 2SS and currently have e85, RotoFab, and a Borla Attack axel back exhaust. I have saved up enough money to either buy+install headers (I was thinking kooks, or bbk, or alternatively and MSD and an LT5 tb. I mainly drive in a launch, stop, launch style so low end response would be what im looking for. Which one should I go for?

Get the LTH, itll add a little more power than those 2 mods and the sound is very worth it.

Yeah, I would tend to agree with Saber. I installed a MSD, 95mm, and got a tune and I gained HP, but it was higher in the rev range.

If you care about low end response, throw in an LT2 intake with the headers if you can fit it into your budget. It's way cheaper than the MSD and you get almost the same amount of gains (MSD is better up top).
