What should my next mod be? (with poll)

I've reached the zenith of first world problems. I don't know what my next mod should be to the H8RDCPTR (which is my truck, for those of you who didn't put that together). I'm to the point where the truck is so far modified, I can't decide which can of worms to open next.

1. Tubular LCA's. I like the idea of moving my wheels 3/4" forward to fill the openings, and shedding some weight and improving geometry is a big plus. Costs around $1k for the set, which is pricey. I'm already doing a new steering gear, and have coilovers, so LCA's seem like a good option.

2. 4 wheel brake upgrade; I've already got Wilwood D52's up front, but I'd like to upgrade the pads and rotors, and use my old D52's w/ a CaptainFab bracket, to complete 4 wheel disc. Pads, rotors, bracket, and refreshing my core calipers is $5-600

3. New converter. My trans is stout, but the converter is of dubious origin and not the correct stall for my application. I could see some gains in the 1/4 and improve power handling with a nice unit from TCI. ~$8-1200

4. New wheel combo; My rear steel wheels are killing me with unsprung mass, so a new wheel set is a great idea...BUT I'm mostly looking at drag wheels from Weld or similar. ~15x10 rears alone are nearly $650 EACH, and thats not counting if I want a matching set with 15x5-6 skinnies at another ~400 EACH.

5. Finish my nitrous. I already have a bottle, valve, opener, and plate kit...but still need nozzles, brackets, lines, and solenoids...plus I want to run either methanol or q16 supplementary fueling. $5-900 depending which setup.


So, what do you guys think?! There are 50 other smaller things that coincide or depend on one of these major upgrades...but I need to pick the direction to go!
