4.10 gears $300 from latemodelrestoration. ( everything included)
x pipe $150 from where ever
tune. $379, sct is good.
Drag Radials $300, Nittos if its your DD
Short Throw Shifter $179 combo from American Muscle.


Get all that, + a 100 shot of Nitrous and you will have a freaking fast car.

Bang for the buck, there's no way to beat the juice.

it really depends on how you plan to drive the car. running nitrous you'll only get that extra power when you're full throttle. if you want to run fast at the track then nitrous is your best bang for the buck, but if you want streetable power then nitrous may not be your best option. i'd go with a set of gears and a tune to start off.

I say gears first. If you got a 5 speed do 4.10s at least, maybe even 4.30s if your feeling brave enough. I did 4.30's in mine and never looked back. Huge difference.

4.10 Gears and a tune made the most difference to me. Juice is by far the best investment IMO as far as best bang for the buck, you'll be dominating people left and right but only if your at full throttle. Gears are my favorite so far I definently recommend them! Good luck with your choice!
