Gears are one of the biggest bank-for-buck changes for these cars. I personally recommend 3.73 gears for daily driver manual tranny 99-04 stangs, but with the AOD I'd consider 4.10's as well (the auto sucks down quite a bit of power lost in the drivertrain, and the extra gears help this problem).

If you're looking to put a twin-screw blower into the car, wait. Your gearing needs for those torque-machines are closer to the stock 3.27's (maybe 3.55's if you are going to put lots of rubber under the rear).
