first off is the vararam worth it? with the throttle body?
should i spend 700$ on a intake and TB
and would headers make more hp?
i want jba headers and i thought i saw something about making a y pipe for theirs. if not probably stainless works 1 3/4.

IMO, need all the above to get most gains.
putting more air requires the ability to allow more free flowing air out.
I personally went with the Vararam and a fastman TB (much butter mill work and already 1/2 shafted, comprabal price to others on the marker) then better flowing mufflex 14 muffler.
Next ditch the stock crushed Y pipe. ( mufflex is going to instal yhe Y pipe since they are only about 45min from my house)
Everything works in conjunction with each other!

The combination of all those mods would make a difference. However the mod that is most noticeable is a Diablosport tuner with a custom tune from HemiFever.

Youll see more gains from long tube headers than CAI/PTB but its more expensive.

Definitely get a tuner first thing.

Of the choices you gave us (you didn't ask about a tuner) I would grab a set of LONG TUBE headers. Shorty headers won't give you the gains of a LT set. Neither will a TB/CAI combo.

I put the 1 7/8 th SSW longtubes with the full dual exhaust. Definitely can feel a difference!!! Uncork the exhaust is always first before an intake or tb according to my experience.

I'm glad you posted this, I've been thinking about a very similar setup
