In your case i would say the gears will make the biggest difference. It all depends on how much money you want to spend. I have heard the jacobs makes a lot of extra power too.

Thumbs up

I have to agree with Bigtan. I have a 300 I6 with 31x10.50's and 3.55 LS and Manual Transmission. I think it has plenty of power. The 3.73 would be the way to go for the money. The 300 doesn't rev as quick as a V8, but has enough torque to compensate. You will probably notice a bigger difference with the gears than any of the other mods you mentioned.
