Trans, rear end, or suspension? plez help me pick

I just finished putting in a 383 that I built and its running like a top. havent had it tuned yet but according to desktop dyno it should be 499 flywheel tq 427 flywheel HP. Anyway right now it is running through a bone stock suspension system a bone stock 3:23 rear end and a stock trans with a SY3500 (yank) 3500 stall.
I have about 1000 leftover and I'm debating these 3 options.

#1
Sphhon tq arm (I need a DS loop)
BMR LCAs, BMR Trans Mount, And a BMR Panhard Bar, And Mabye a T/A rear cover. about 900$

#2 Get the trans Built. current one has 71k on it and seems to have no problems. But the was a small amount of metal in the pan when I flushed it last week. about 1800$

#3 12 bolt with 3:73s 1500- 2400$

Also I thought about getting a 1- LE driveshaft but I'm not sure I need it.

I plan on doing no more engine mods for awhile, But once all I listed is done the motor will probibly get a 125 shot. but that is 1 or 2 years down the road.

thanks!!

I'm going to guess a 12 bolt will be the popular choice, though I don't have much of an opinion

I think that is gonna be a popular choice too. since there is a performance gain there, but then again the people voting aren't risking a 800$ converter if the trans blows.
