Default what to get next?

Ok so I have flowmaster axels and jlt/cai bama tuner and i want something else. Not enough for supercharger or cams and I had my heart set on gears (3.73), but after reading a crap load of posts about ppl doing like 3 or 4 installs to get it right, i dont really wanna mess with that anymore being my dd. What else is there to do....I've heard midpipe is mostly just sound and not much gain, ud pulleys and throttle body are kinda not worth it. Any opinions?....and before u say suspension i've already stashed a little away for that saleen suspension pack at bresnspeed for like 759.

a relatively cheap mod that gains power without the need for a tune is Meziere's water pump. I dyno'd 288whp with just the axle back and the water pump on the stock tune. I'm sure that most of the power I gained was from the water pump.

Fix her up on the outside. Tint and exterior mods do a load of difference.

That's also if it is mostly a show car. Are you looking for the cheapest mod that will give you the best power? or looking for sound? maybe some long tube headers with an x or h pipe?

Never read anything like that. Just have the gears installed by someone who knows what their doing. Aside from gears, a quality 1-piece drive shaft or LT headers provide a good bang for the buck. Both give seat of the pants performance gains and the LT provide undeniable improvements in sound.
