Default performance or handeling?

So i've finally come across some money, finally, and trying to decide what to do next. I'm either gonna buy a superchips 3815 or buy a set of belltech nitro drop shocks and a rear sway bar....just trying to get some opinions of what you guys would do...thanks

well that smart thing would be to be able to stop, and turn good before you get your vehicle going faster then its made to go. BUT THATS NOT THE FUN WAY

forget the programmer man get the shocks better yet get the nitro actives. summit still sells them for 50 bucks a piece (they are supposed to be way better than the nitros) and also get the sway bar. personally i think the ride is something you are always gona feel, and deal with no matter if your stopping, turning or just lookin at your truck! i would be leary of the programmers too since so many blame them for the tranny failures. (just what i have seen)

looks like you have a nice drop too! how much for the drop it? brand?

thanks dean, it's a 2/4 McGaughy's drop...bought it on ebay for $330 and installed in on a saturday afternoon in my driveway......

yah i'm kinda leanin towards the handleing...the reason i was thinkin the nitro drop is cause i found em for $36 each and thats just low enough that i can buy a set of those and a sway bar lol
