i think you would feel the biggest difference with gears depending on what gears you have stock.

i wouldn't do the pypes shorties. instead get some LCA's. also, i'd go with at least a 3.90 gear.

Nothing wrong with rewarding yourself Santa-style for being good all year long...

I agree, you will see/feel some umph from the gears......

The gears will give you the most noticeable change.

WOW! Thanks for the overwhelming responses! I have the 3.55 from ford so I guess that I'm going to go with the 3.73's from FRPP. Thanks again everyone!
