How much money do you have?

What is your mechanical skill level?

How fast do you want to go?

If you have to save up the money first, I'd just grab a complete 8.8 rearend off Craigslist with a set of steaper gears already installed. Swap that in and enjoy till you figure out what you want. I've found complete rearends for my Fox with gears from anywhere between $150 - $300. Of course, buyer beware when grabbing used parts, you have to know what your looking for.

That will hold you over till a master plan is made, and a large bank account won't hurt either lol.

Also, dig around on this forum for older threads on modding your 94'. There's a ton of info on every mod available. What works and what doesn't help much. Use the "Search" and you'll be reading for days. Good luck
