are you auto or manual?

and by "LPP" do you mean headers? or is that some crazy LT1 term i'm not familiar with?

definitely lca's though. adjustables if you like turning.

I'm assuming you are a M6 since you want 4.10's. I'd get the gears, LCA's, and a TA, maybe save the tune until after you cam it.

i think a tune would be worth it. get a little power plus your speedo won't be off from the gears.

but lca's help quite a bit too with traction

big question is... are you installing gears yourself? if not, that alone may eat your budget

Yea, gears can be a fair chunk if you plan on doing it correctly heh You could reuse stuff (not recommending the pinion seal heh), but that is only something I'd do on a backyard build where if it grenades it's no big deal heh

Tune would probably net you 10-15, but you'd be better off spending it after a bigger upgrade like a H/C. You can get the gear issue fixed if you know anyone with the hand held programmers. Or just use a calculator and have a cheat sheet on your dash till you either get used to the speed change, or get the tune lol

well by all means, gears then. lca's are never a bad idea either. wheel hop is your enemy with a 7.5, and 4.10's and an m6 will definately give you some of that
