Then get 3.73 IMHO. You'd be happier with those than with the 4.10s. Again IMHO with 4.10s you're going to need some suspension upgrades and some DRs. I am not sure about F-bodies, but i know in the modular mustang world, 4.10 sometimes tops out before 100mph in 4th gear. But the 3.73s do not. Again, this may not be the case with f-bodies as it is Mustangs. So don't take MY word for it. While gears don't ADD any HP, they make better use of it, and therefore make you faster. I wouldn't however try to install them yourself if you've never done it.
I'll also add a decent short throw shifter from a rep brand name is also a great/cheap/do-it-yourself investment.
Not only does it feel better, and stop you from mis-shifting, you will shift faster = faster over all.
A good STS will benefit even a daily driver non-racer.

that first drive down the road with the headers and catback was one heck of a goodtime. i hope everyone is right about stalls,bc thts going on soon. but one of the most enjoyable mods is the wheels and detail done to it. ivee had guys in highend cars comment the car and many ppl offer to buy it

cam and heads. blows dick driving till you hit about 3500rpm and it feels like you just spooled a monster turbo because the engines build s so much power between 3500 to redline. very enjoyable especially if your an ******* like me who likes to drive in the powerband(weekend/strip car)

Clutch/hydraulics-Tick Master, new slave and Tex. The stock clutch pedal is way too soft, I love the way the car drives now.
Suspension-Hotchkis springs and Koni shocks. Stock suspension sucks and looks awful. Car handles great and looks awesome.
