If you have full exhaust then I would do that. If cost is an issue I would just install it yourself and maybe get a friend to help.

Beyond that get gears. But if the cost of installing an exhaust is an issue then getting gears done will probably be too.

that's exactly what I was going to suggest. I did exhaust, throttle body and pulleys, those mods did nothing compared to gears. You'll be happy with 3.73's, they don't add real hp, just multiply the torque that give you 100 ass dyno hp. [Big Grin]

Convert to fuel injection then get an 8.8 rear end and slap them 3.73s in that.
