Default Installed Exhaust Yesterday - What next?

Finally got my headers on Wednesday after waiting 6 weeks for them to due to backorder. Dynatech Supermaxx system and GMMG catback. It sounds awesome!! OK - Now I'm thinking gears since I have the dreaded 2.72 gears now, but should I do SFC and STB first? What about stall? Cam? I'm thinking chassis stuff, then gears and basic (mail-order) tune, then cam and stall and Dyno tune in that order. Opinions? Oh yeah and since I do a lot of Highway driving 3.43 or 3.72 on gears? What do ya'll think?

3.73's do ok on the highway. If your looking for better 1/4 mile times i would jump on the torque convertor first. Around a 3200 to 4000 is streetable and knocks off close to .5 of 1/4 time. Im in about the same boat as you and currently will be installing sfc soon and then doing torque convertor. I Already have 3.73's though

I would not really worry about 2.73 gears. I am currently running them on my set up, 3800 converter, bolt ons, fm13 cam and a built tranny. Once you get your converter you will forget all about your gears and they will feel fine. I would not touch the gears until you replace your rear end.

How much driving do you do at highway speeds (75 mph or so) with your 3.73's

Gear it and stall it at the same time if you got the $$. 3.73's ???

By the way...it's 2.73's, 3.42's, 3.73's and 4.10's for the stockers.
