So I am having trouble deciding what the next mod will be. So I thought I would get some of your guys thoughts. 3 options listed below:

-LT American racing headers (install myself)

-Stage 3 valve body and edge racing TC (pay to get installed)

-4.56 with an LSD and new rear end cover (pay to get installed)

So all three are going to run about the same in price after the cost of install. About 1500-2000. I am looking to hear some pros and cons, and which one you think will give me the best performance upgrade. Not to worried about MPG its a truck I get it.

Current list of mods

-Injen CAI
-Power wire
-Tranny line boost
-85mm fastman TB
-Trinity tuner (no custom tunes yet)

Thanks to all

I vote long tubes. Provided you follow them soon after with a proper true dual exhaust with X pipe.

It wound not be followed.... It would just be done at the same time. If I am going to do, do it right. true duel and dumped before the axle.

This!
I would get the LSD and gears. Traction and acceleration off the line would be improved.
While not nearly as big of a jump but when I swapped the stock 3.5:1 open diff to a 3.7:1 w/lsd in my G35 it made a nice difference grip and acceleration...The best mod I ever did to that car and it was under $300.

If you already have 3.92's and the factory LSD, then I would go with either the headers or the converter/VB. If you currently have an open diff and 3.55's, then gears and LSD definately need to be the next move.

its 3.92 and open diff right now. The gears seems to be the consensus.
