Post My Next Mod???? Help Please.

Ok I have $1400 to spend on Modifications to My 4.2L Any Ideas???? What do you guys(gals) think would kick some V8 butt?

Here is my current List...
1)K&N Filter, stock airbox
2)Exhaust
3)4.30 Gears w/Auburn Pro

Here is what I did at the Track, First time racing with a 5-speed. But No way was this my first time at the track.

16.926 @ 78.46 60'ft was 2.381
16.994 @ 78.98 60'ft was 2.425

Haven't figured out how to launch the truck yet,came out at an idle and don't know what the shift points should be, I am shifting by sound cause I don't even have a tach. Still learning how to drive this 5-speed, all my cars have been automatics. But I'm a quick learner. What do you launch at? What kind of 60's do you get?

Thanks

Your times look pretty good. I don't have any advice since I've never been to the track. I'd go with a Superchip first though. More bang for the buck.
