Default left in the dust. F***

So just now I got home from work and I usually drive slow down the main street I go because they are always cops around, Always. So after I get a bit further down where its not too hot. I see this 350z. I never start ****, but I guess he does. He hauls a** down the street so im like what the heck, its a 350z. So im going and his still pulling away. I dont know if its just me, but i could not catch up to him. He had at less a car and a half of a lead.
Im like WTF? Come on. So what Im wondering is how I can get a quite a bit of power or at less a significant amount to feel the difference without spending more than like a grand. Dont wanna run Nos, sorry... I dont really wanna risk it on a 155k miles motor.
Got a 90gt : Hi-flow waterpump, BBK shorty headers, BBK O/F X-pipe, BBK CAI.

4.10's will get you there for half your budget.

Both are a good choice. 4.10s are more of a better gear for auto, but some like 4.10's with 5spd. I personally have 4.10's w/5spd

So like $155 for 373s to get them off 50resto.com. Should I install them myself or have it done?

Your not gettting off that easy lol

1) Ford Racing Gears - 3.73's, 3.90;s, 4.10's (if you plan on keeping it NA which it sounds like you do I would go with the 4.10's.
2) Ford Racing Installation Kit - the install kit with the axle seals/bearings, etc. Roughly about $110 from summitracing.com
3) Speedo Gear - about $15-20 bucks
4) Fluid - depending on what you get. I went with Royal Purple and it cost me about $45 dollars.
5) Installation - Some people say that they get it done for $250, etc. Cheapest in my area did them for about $400 after tax, etc.
