How much of a difference do lower control arms truely make? Are they worth the money or is there other things you should put money into first?

the thing is i know my gears are long i have the stock 331s but im on the highway alot and dont want to be annoyed by the motor being reved so high plus im getting almost 30 miles pergallons gas wise i get like 29.5 at around 75-80 any recommendations besides gears
Wow I'm so jealous. How'd you pull that? I get like 23.5 if I'm lucky. Stock except for a C&L intake and a retune to 87 octane.

i custom made slp loudmouths i took it to a muffler shop and the cut out the stock mufflers and welded in straight piping with a bigger tip for like $150 i also bought the offroad x-pipe but it was way tooooo loud so i took it off and its sitting in my room. Do you have any sound clips because that looks alot like the exhaust setup im shooting for a little later on down the road

If you already have the CAI,tune and underdrive pulleys get the gears, you wont be over reving on the highway,
I did all the above and the car is alive. I was going to go with the delete plates also but I may go FI in the future and they wont do me any good, nore willmy underdrive pulleys for that matter.
