help me spend some cash
I got the car in good running shape and i already got a good start on mods but i dont kno what i should do next. Its got a posi/disc rear but i dont kno what size gears were on the car does it have the rpo codes? If i got 2.77 gears i think ill get a set of 3.45's since tpi's dont like to be revved high and this is my daily driver. Also this will be a street/ once a month strip car should i keep tpi or go with miniram? Which one would cost less to buy LTR base, runners, and plenum or miniram. If upgrading all the parts on the LTR are cheaper then who makes the best base, runners, throttle body, and plenum? What other mods should i do like suspension wise? for the tranny i think im gonna get dana's trans go shift kit, b&m tranny cooler, and a stall converter (which size converter should i get?) the tranny has been freshly rebuilt. Any info or advice is greatly appreciated.

"...think ill get a set of 3.45's since tpi's dont like to be revved high and this is my daily driver."
"...and a stall converter (which size converter should i get?)"
These two statements seem to contradict themselves. Why would you want to put a stall converter on an engine that's not a high revver.
Save a lot of time, money, and headaches. If this is going to be your daily driver, the less you modify, the more dependable the car will be. And we all know, we NEED a dependable car. It's hard for me to understand why people throw money into cars, that are already too fast for todays drivers. You've heard the old saying "SAVE YOUR MONEY"? Trust me, you are going to find better things to do with that money, and later on wish you hadn't spent it.

what companies port plenums?
I cant seem to find any company that makes aftermarket plenums so which company ports stock ones? Also i plan to keep tpi since i love torque and this is my daily driver. Who makes the best runners, base, throttle bodies? I did a search i figured id get a tpis big mouth intake, as&m long tube runners, and a tpis throttle body is this a good setup or is there better tpi parts out there? I did full exhaust so i figured next will be intake
