In Need of Power

I daily drive a 07 auto Balt with a MAgnaflow cat-back exhaust system and Injen intake. I need more power. I would have bought a manual if I knew I'd end up driving the car. I am thinking about purchasing an aftermarket header and downpipe. I considered a small shot of nitrous (maybe a 35 or most a 50 shot) but I'm not sure. I don't want to mess anything up. Any ideas?

Header and dp are a good idea. A tune after that would probably also go a long way. I believe the '07s can use LS2edit.

^Yep, but still don't expect a lot of power though.

How about the Vibrant header/downpipe/high flow cat?

It comes as a complete kit and is top notch

The Vibrant full length is a nice piece, but it really is a little big for a 2.2(1.75" primaries)
