My advise, throw some subframe connectors in and possibly some LCA's and drag radials to help plant w/those gears and forget about the dyno tune until you decide to get a cam.

lid, filter and exhaust is a nice start. i know they are cheap but imo i wouldnt start with the gears if you are in this for the long haul might as well wait til you get a 9' or 12 bolt rear at the same time.................btw, nice gun collection too,is the uzi class 3?

Seems like well planned mods. I personally would install subframe connectors, SFCs, before doing the gears. I also agree that until you do more to your motor that tuning won't help you much. When you change to the 4.10s you can expect a loss in fuel economy and a major loss in traction. You may want to consider investing in a set of Nitto drag radials about the same time.
