a T-Lok (Traction Lok) if the Ford term for LSD (Limited Slip Differential). They will not add any horsepower, neither will adding gears. Gears will increase your acceleration as will an LSD. The LSD allows both wheels to turn when driving. The stock diff. is an "open" diff., where only one wheel spins to get power to the ground.

Gears and T-lok! A little expensive up front with parts and labor.
pulleys will add *maybe* 10hp
Don't know about TB spacer. Probably nothing.

Go with the 3.73's and the tlok. The pulleys won't give you much power and the tb won't give you anything. With the gears you will feel the difference. They are well worth the money.
