A tuner wold help optimize your current mods, gears will give you more torque and everyone says they are well worth it ( one of my next mods), and my cams i love them they gave my car a nice lobe sound at idle and i put down 270 rwhp with the mods in my sig but it ended up costing me $1200 to do so the cheapest would be gears then tuner then cams. But IMO is gears or a tune then worry about cams later

Gears is the best bang for the buck. Wait until you can get the SCT tuner to correct the speedometer and also get a better tune for your mods.

Is your car an auto? I would also consider a short throw shifter. Its always one of the first things I do to mine.

haha.

I would:

1) Install LT's, (requires new mid-pipe, ditch the X)
2) Buy tuner, tune car
3) Buy Gears (4.10s are perfect for your cams)
4) Buy Cams

In that order

*edit*

actually I would do

cams+blower+tuner
