upgrading thoughts - mine /yours

been draggin' a 30' TT around with a stock 98.5 24v 3.54, AT, guages with just over 130k miles.

we're looking to upgrade to a similar size 5er staying right close to the GVWR / GCWR of the truck. I'm seriously thinking of:

DTT TC / Valve body upgrade
Smartcontroller (already have a Pacbrake but don't use due to tranny temps)
Edge EZ

what about 3.74 or 4.10 gearing ?

your thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
