I would do gears first...then nitrous later!

That's how i did it, and have no regrets!

Gears + labor should be below $500.

Definently Gears, I just threw some 4.10 in my 01 GT and I've been smiling ear to ear ever since. Check ebay or American Muscle. I would recommend getting the bearing kit replaced along with the gears.

+Go with the gears..Don't let anyone talk you out of it. Your're going to need a tuner though, I have an x3 for sale if you are interested.
