Those are good things to start with, you can also get a CAI and a bigger mass air/TB/EGR spacer.

new 3.73 rear gears will make it a lot more fun to drive as they really help it get up and go when you get down on it.

RE: Need some advice

gears will run around $190 plus install kit $90 and labor to install $250-300 depending on where you go, not something I would recommend you tackle yourself unless you have done it before and have the right tools to do it with.
