With 3 grand this is what I would get in your shoes...
Magnum Powers blower
Slicks/Wheel combo
Traction bars to save your Drive shaft
Drive shaft safety loop

Of course you would need a re-tune and maybe a different size pulley but JDM would be best to talk to about that stuff...

PS, that would get you well under mid 12's.

I run 12.6@107 with
6# pulley
Cold Air intake set up
160 degree stat
Slicks
Traction bars
Diablo Chip
DSSL

If I had $3,000 for the truck to spend right now, I would go for some longtubes and midpipes. The rest I would dump into suspension (swaybars, panhard, and maybe Ruslow fire-slotted/dimpled rotors).

Re-Tune
