Get heads first (AR165's). Than start on your induction & exhaust system. And somewhere in between there make sure you get a set of 4:10's And your all set.

absolutely heads. you'd get a great gain from gears, but it's a whole lot easier saving $400 than $1400

sounds like heads are it. Which ones do you recommend more...the edlebrock aluminum heads or the AFR 165 or 185?

Get some afr 165's. You will see a big differance in power. And like bob said a gear will make a big differance but is easier to save for.
