Default Which mod next?

So I just put on my intake/87 performance tune from VMPtuning.com. I pretty much re-fell in love with my sixxer after I fired her up and opened it up on the interstate. So I need more mods, need em fast. What do my fellow 4.0's recommend?

I am building up to a turbo set up, single or twin.

Which gear setup do you recommend for a car that I plan to build up to a TT or Single Turbo setup?

For a basic bolt-on street car,
Gears/LSD as mentioned,
A CAI and tune, and may be some true duals retaining the stock cats, and running the pipes into muffler of choice. Remember the bolt-on used now might no be compatitable with future plans.

It depends on who you talk to, most say with our power band its good to go with the 3.73 for F/I applications. Then there are those who say the 4.10's all the time.
What kind of driving do you do? If its freeway at all go with the 3.73's. I did and love that I made that choice. I am also building for some sort of F/I and plan everything ahead to make the coversion easier.

if you seriously are going to do a turbo, you will be running near the high end of the 300s, so you will need to get a stronger rear. the 8.8 will do good, and to compensate for the added weight, get 3.73's preinstalled (check out newtakeoff.com). however, if you dont plan on getting the turbo, just go for the tlok and gears, because without the extra power you are going to get bogged down because the weight of an 8.8
