I think gears are a good start. I got my 8" at Currie in Ca. Check there for a 8'' 3 rd member with an Auburn Pro limited slip. Don't get the Currie TSD or a Ford Traction-Lock. I used both of those and they are short lived when used with very much power.
My first mod woulld be a new exhaust. I use Tri-Y headers with a custom made 2 1/2" pipes. I also use 3 chamber 2 1/.2" FlowMaster mufflers. Mine is still very loud even with the 3 chamber mufflers (no cats).
If you want cheap head upgrades I have 351W heads with 1.85/1.54 valves, decked, 3 angle valve job, professionally pocket ported, and with CC 1.6 roller tip rockers included. These heads have about 20,000 miles on them. I upgraded to TFTW heads some time ago. I would sell the 351W's for $350 + shipping, but only after a complete inspection by the shop that built them originally. Complete documentation of the original costs are available.

Note: These heads do still have pressed in studs and the rockers are the rail type. The heads are still good for 300 Hp and 5500 RPM. Also the rockers are adjustable with Pioneer locking adjusters.
