Default Intake or gears?

I have a 2000 ta with headers lm1, professional products 85mm Tb and a street tune. Got about a grand in the bank for next upgrade but trying to figure what would be better for the money fast 92intake of doing the 4.10 swap? Really could use the suggestions.

you may be able to upgrade to an ls6 and do the gears. that route would probably gain you more than one or the other.

Is the car an M6 or A4? I would think M6 since you are asking about 4.10's. Like mentioned above, even if you are paying for gear install you could easily be able to pick up an LS6 intake and gears. If it's an A4 stall is the way to go.

LS6 intake and 4.10's. I picked up nice power when I went from LS1 to LS6 and then loved the switch to 4.10's. Your speedo will be off if you don't have tuned.

Yeah its a m6. Having a local shop do the gears but I'm going the intake swap. Wasn't real sure if I should just get one now since I will be getting a new stroker motor in a few years. Thanks for the advice guys.
