I'm not exactly an expert but I would probably go with either pulleys or a different rear end gear. Maybe a K and N filter if there is money left over.

Default Gears!

Hands down, the best bang for the buck would be a different rear gear. The general consensus for gears: AOD=3.73's or 4.10's T-5=3.55's or 3.73's

Gears are around $190 and another $150-200 to have them installed. If you could get a deal on installation (i.e. free), you would have money left over to buy pulleys too. Regardless what you do, the best modification for the money would be gears.

Another vote for some 3.73's!
