Need help picking my next mod

Current mods are in my sig. Right now I consistently pull about 14.3x @ 98mph with 2.3x 60ft. In a month or two I'm going to be either putting on (Hooker LT's) or (3.73 gears and Nitto 555r DR's). The cost is going to be about the same, whichever route I choose. I want the Hooker LT's cause I like the idea of gaining a lot of topend, which I'm definitely lacking. Although I really enjoy the feeling of going fast too, which is why I may opt for the gears and DR's instead. Eventually I'll do all three mods, but I just want to know which will make the biggest improvement as of now.

I'd go for the LT's. You'll get a little better mileage too (instead of worse with the gears)

Save the drag radials for the track, they wear out really fast on a street driven car. I'd go for the headers myself.

Stall converter is going to be your best go-fast mod in a heavy convertable.

Stall convertor or Headers. Probably start with headers.

Another vote for headers, then a stall converter, then gears.

Talking

Ditto on the radials and gears. You'll have neons taking you out of the hole with that 60ft...and it'll only get worse with lt's...
