Do the pulleys, mid pipe, intake, and 4.10's then do what you said you wanted to an build your motor for some serious boost!

Don't forget the irs differential cover brace if the previous owner hasn't already installed it. I also have 4.10 gears. If you are going to use as a daily driver I do not recommend. First gear is pretty much useless and your rpm's on the highway will be over 2,000. In a nutshell say goodbye to gas mileage. But it is fun with 4.10's. Also the irs acts differently so watch out for the notorious wheel hop.

I would love to get 21 mpg but not everyone drives on the highway all the time. And my rear tires are 315/35/zr17. I would think 4.10's would be better with a 6 speed.
