Gear Size?
It'll help way more than gears. How do they work? Well, you know that sweet spot at 4,000 RPM when your car pulls really hard? It'll make your car do that instantly without waiting every time you get down on the gas.

A CONVERTER will make a bigger difference than gears will make. When ever you change out your gears for a higher numerical ratio they will only get weaker. You factory gears are, generally speaking, the most durable 10-bolt gears.
A swap from 3.23:1 gears to 3.73:1 gears will provide an additional 15.5% more torque to your rear wheels from increased torque multiplication. A higher stall torque ratio in a premium torque converter could add an additional 35% more torque at the rear wheels or more.
Search (here and yahoo/google) "stall torque ratio," a.k.a. "STR" and you'll see the light. Percision industries and Yank both make great converters, and I'm pretty sure both offer information on STR on their websites.

Thanks for schoolin' me here. I need answers like this. Just need to be pointed in the right direction. I'm just tired of not having the power I think the car should have.

No ses lights. The car has 24,000 miles on it but it is 5 years old. So a tune up might help. I'm talkin delco plugs and wires. That might help give me the boost.
Other than that the jet reprogrammer I've been using to up the rev limiter and shift points has helped a little. Hey, I'm sick of only getting power bellow 25mph. And even then might neck isn't that sore.

Preference mostly. I do know that a Cu plug will provide a hotter spark than an Iridium/Platinum plug, they just don't last as long.
The Taylor wires are going to be built better and could have less resistance than OEM wires.
