Default Cash to spend.... but on what?

Hey guys, heres my prediciment... I've got roughly 5k to spend on my truck and am having a hard time deciding what to do with it. Im torn between throwin a sts turbo system on it or spending on a bunch of different poweradders (hearders, exhaust, heads, cam, gears). What would you guys recomend? Which would give me the most bang for my buck? Thanks for the input guys.

The turbo would be nice. Not sure how much it runs though. Or you can bore/stroke it to 426 cubes...but to get the full potential of that, youd spend more than 5k...start with the turbo. Later on you can do internal work if you want (stroker, cam, ported heads, etc.)
