Default what should be my next mod?

hey guys im debating on what i should do next as far as mods..i currently have a 5.3 2000 tahoe with a trick flow 216/220 .560 114lsa LT headers with ORY, BB tune efans CAI servo..basically most bolt ones...now im thinking of going with a 3000 stall with a tranny cooler or try to get some 243/799 heads and have them milled to raise my compression..how much gain can i get from the heads? other thought was doing 4.10 gears but it is 4x4 so i gotta do both front and back..soo im thinking eighter heads, stall, or gears? what would you guys think would benifit me more as far as at the track and overall feel of power?
any other suggestion are welcome

also i was planning on upgrading injectors to some 8.1s but justin at black bear said that with my setup my injectors are still fine..what do you guys think?

3200-3600 stall converter.
Just finished the break-in on mine and noticed a big difference.
Can't wait to get it tuned to really get full benefit of converter.

for track purpose, a converter will make the largest difference (of the mods you have listed)

If it ain't enough for you after the converter install, you gear that beast down to 4.30 or 4.56s..

i like my FTI converter so far. I would call FTI directly and order a custom converter. their delivery time was super fast!

Stall without a doubt would be your best option. It will really make it come alive. Between the cam and everything else a stall could be worth more than a full second in the 1/4.
