What are your goals for the car? do you plan on a supercharger if so pick the mods the will support what you want to do for the future. Some of the Eaton boys say 4.10's are to much. N/A and centrifugal guys seem to like the 4.10's. I personally would pick the 4.10's and/or higher stall TQ.

If you really want to spend money wisely you'll change it to SPARTA PERFORMANCE control arms, they are less expensive and much better!!!! Steeda Underdrive pulleys will work great and the 4.10's you can get those here too.

Geez,I'm surprised nobody mentioned upgrading the brakes.All the money for go fast parts could be lost pretty quickly if you don't have some real good binders.
Do the handling and brake mods next and you can decide about the 4.10 gears and stall speed later while you figure out if you're really gonna get a supercharger.

PM frdwrnch or marauderman, they're both running Baers and may have a P/N they can give you.
