Well, if i go by your list, i'd do the tuner then. Gears would be my personal choice though.

I see you have long tubes and a cat back, but no mid pipe? If so i'd put that on the list too.

That was my bad. I wasn't really thinking lol. Like 99 gt vert was saying, if you have long tubes then you do have a shorty mid pipe.

Gears will run around $200, and around $300 installed...give or take a few. If it's not a daily driver, and you don't plan on forced induction, i'd do 4.10's. Otherwise 3.73's or possibly 3.90's might be a better choice. Ford Racing makes the best gears imo.

it is a daily driver for now and eventually i would like to do forced induction but that takes a good chunk of change and being a college student, money can be somewhat tight at times haha

Well, in that case i would strongly consider 3.90's. That's what i have, and i couldn't be happier. They will offer the close to the benefits of a 4.10 if you stay n/a, and will allow some room if you do forced induction without running out of gear to quickly. IMO, the 3.90's offer the perfect compromise.

BTW, you could do nitrous for pretty cheap
