If I had 4grand to spend ,I would go with what Echo said! And get a clutch also. The rear should hold up as long as you don't do any high rev drop's on it. I race mine all the time but it usually from a 40mph roll, so I am sure that is why mine is lasting,but take into consideration what you want to do in the future with your car as well and build it toward's that! It might be a little slower now but when you get to your ultimate goal you will be more happy and glad you only spent the money once!

I am doing it in this order (not to say you have to or it is the best way) exhaust, bolt-ons, internals or clutch (depends on if your clutch is going bad or not which one of those to do first). But hey, its your money man. Do what you think will make you the happiest or what will get you closest to your goal with the car. Lastly, you might want to put some back just in case something unexpected happens.

Well hell for 5g's do a single small turbo truck manifold kit, and a clutch!
You can make 500rwhp easy,with the stock shortblock, and live forever,and drive like stock until you put your foot into it.
