UDPs will give you about 8-10 hp by slowing down your accessories a small amount. They are completely safe.

Do you drive it daily?

Are you going to Drag Race?

These are all questions that need answered before you can make a list of parts.

Best 3

1. Shifter
2. Gears (4.10 or 4.30)
3. O/R Exhaust

Very true. You have to qualify your question by listing your goals. If you want the best bang for the buck gears would top my list for street or strip. Personally after buying all the little junk on mine I would do it quite differently next time around.

gears
beef up rear end
springs and shocks
Nitrous with tune
MT drag radials
x pipe and catback
low 12's

The only thing I would change is the springs...I would go with H&R or Eibach.
