next best move in my build

so I believe my sig is up to date, my egts are high on the top end so im not to worried as of right now I just want to know what I should do next. compounds? I peg out my 1600 egt gauge on the strip but just around town I never get past 1200 unless im locked in 4th, I ran a 14.3 at the strip but of course I want more. also I am running out of gear at about 90mph I feel like I should go to 3.55 gears? good or bad idea I have a dana 80 in the rear im not sure if there is a 3.55 gear option. I wanted to keep the 5x14's so I was thinking a smallish compound kit maybe a s472? or should I look into a exhaust manifold/intake mani first?

Impossible to recommend where you should step next without knowing where you are trying to go.

My trucks got 3.54's in it. And on 37's I've had it to around 140mph or so, so you shouldn't have to worry about running out of gear with them. And even with 37's I could still roll right on by past the wannabes around here on the streets

i want more power but I know I cant do a all out build or I world so I buy parts slowly when I can my goal is endless at this point I thought I would be happy where I am but I was for about a month. I just wanted to know the next best step for my truck power wise, if twins would be stupid because focusing on exhaust manifold and intake will restrict me then I would like to focus on that, did any of the d80 drw come with 3.54?

yeah you need more air. get a 64 if you want to go down the road of twins some day. go 66 if you want to stay with a single you will be happy with. It will light a lot harder than your 62. If you tow much it will be very lazy with your automatic transmission
