Default What to do now???

hey i have a 2000 ls1 6 speed with a FAST 90/90 ported, LT, Catless X pipe, borla stingers, dual cone air intake(K&n filters), and a tune. i was debating between a nitrous or gears. i want something to give me power through 30-140. i would liek to know what gears would be like? would it be like a seat thrower back or a waste? let me know what i need? i know heads and cam but can not afford! so what options would you do?

do the 4.10s, i hardly use 5th. most guys dont wind out their shifts and bog. you will not regret the 4.10s if you drive the car the way it was intended to be driven. just do it
