For $800 I'd go with gears, 31 spline trac lock, and axles. And any more money you can get together, suspension and tires.

Gears for more performance/speed.

H-pipe for little gain, but awesome sound.

4.10s for a DD automatic!

as eugenef15 said, you can probably do all 3 if you don't want a catted midpipe.

The gears are great! should be one of the first mods, and 4.10 is the way to go, unless you are going power adder which makes 4.10 too much gear.

H-pipe sounds great, not much gains. I have a MAC prochamber with superr 44 flows, and it just turns heads!

a tuner is a must, cause it come in handy when you add more stuff, and i think SCT X2 is the way to.

Definitely go with the gears and a tuner. Get some 4.10's, and you'll be happy. A midpipe is easy to install, and you can get them used, so that can be done at any time as far as I'm concerned.

You can even install the gears yourself if you know how to turn a wrench and have the right tools (not even a pinion depth gauge).
