Actually the difference in horsepower comes from the computer. Even with a head, intake, and cam swap, dont expect to gain much until you get some type of fuel management system.
As previously mentioned you will need to get the rev limiter out of the way, they are set around 5500 on the AOD-E cars. Although I never ran my car when it was stock, it would have been lucky to run a high 15! I'm guessing low 16's would have been the norm.
As far as gears go, get the 3.73's, unless you plan to run a tall tire at the track. You will run out of gear on the big end with the 4.10's and a 26 inch tire.
