need some help deciding...

ok heres the deal.i got 600 bucks to spend on my car.but i dont know what to buy.heres my options
-save for another week to do the carb swap im dying to do
-buy 3.42 gears and install them along with my SLP posi
-headers and 3 inch intermediate pipe
-BFGoodrich drag radials to replace the 205/65 uniroyal P.O.S. tires i have on the rear now

ok so what would you guys do?i just cant decide!i really want to do the carb swap,but i think doing the rear and getting better tires would be better to do before i did the swap so i can have traction with my newfound power.and i could do the headers next week if i did the gears and tires.whats your thoughts?
oh yeah and one more question.will a weiand stealth intake fit under a stock hood with a TBI and TBI-carb manifold adapter plate?if it will ill get a manifold just to give my TBI a little more juice before i kick its *** out the door!

One thing leads to another, you know. More power requires more traction. Gears provide more go but require more traction, but only if the engine can wind up. Induction doesn't do much without good exhaust.

How about this priority:
Exhaust
Gears
Induction
Traction

Somewhere, cam and heads have to come into the picture.
