Exclamation Built Rear w/4:10 or Long Tubes &Pulleys

So far ive done just about everything to my car except read end and long tubes.
Ive got 261rwhp and 283rwtq through an automatic
Im either thinking

Long Tubes
Mid Pipe
Steeda Underdrive Pulleys
(Retune)

or

31 spline axles
31 tru track
4:10's?

Ive already got cams, converter, transcooler, exhaust, "cold air" and a dyno tune. What do u guys think? Im going to build the whole rear end(eventuall) its got some milage on her and im throwing some stuff at it soon so i want it to hold up instead of just doing gears for now its just choosing which to do first or which i will get the most "gain" from, the long tubes&pulleys and a new tune or the rear end

I would say it depends....do you go to the track often?

Get done with the engine mods, and then save for a built rear and a good suspension setup.

I agree, with those cams, LTs will benefit you a lot.

Yeah the long tubes and midpipe will really open up the sound and power in those cams.

Assuming you dont go to the track all the time...if i were you (and your money allows you) i would do the long tubes, mid pipe, 4.10's, and tune for now, and do the UDP's and axle later.

You will get more out of your car at the track with a built rear end than the lts and pulleys will yield. Being able to launch the **** out of your car with healthy tire will benefit you a lot more.

This...

get the LTs, mid pipe, 4.10s, and tune it. The stock axles really wont take a beating with the automatic trans. Even with a stall its not going to hook and stress like dumping the clutch on sticky tires. So I'd skip the 31 spline, jst get the 150$ ring a pinion, and save. Pullies will help a tad, but I dont think its really noticable

If by "throwing some stuff at it soon" you mean that you are gonna get blown, don't go with 4.10s.

i would do rear end first... motor can always wait, it runs without the LTs...but if you break your rear 3 days after you spend all your cash on LTs, no more driving!
