Gears wouldn't be a bad idea but better yet would be a 12 bolt rear. How many miles on your clutch? Do you go to the track often?

Well if your looking for some more speed I'd go for gears or a new rear and start saving for a new clutch for your next mod.

at your power level i would go with an ls7 clutch, drives exactly like stock, is cheap, and will hold up to some abuse

Unless clutch is now slipping, go for rear end change with lower gears. Lower gears make life a little easier on the clutch anyway.
