Gears, short shifter, or driveshaft?
As of right now my 2012 is full bolt on:
C&L intake
JBA longtubes
JBA h pipe
Boss Manifold
BBK throttle body
Gt500 AB
SCT tune
I am now indecisive about what mod to get next. Which do you guys think is the best bang for the buck..? 3:73s, short shifter, or the aluminum driveshaft?

MGW short throw shifter hands down! I love mine and I wouldn't trade that shifter for nothing, I actually think it saved my tranny's life, I don't miss any gears or grind a gear at all. You'll love it.

MGW was my first mod. Very well made and worth every penny.
Also look into the Whiteline insert and a braided clutch line. These should all compliment each other and are fairly cheap. Inserts is around $35 and the clutch line I bought was $70 (McLeod).

Is there any difference between the Joe Heck Racing clutch line & McLeod's?

Although my car came with the 3.73s, I've got a 1pc aluminum shaft and the MGW shifter. I would say go with the gear swap first. To help seal the deal go test drive a track pack GT, the difference is felt the moment you step on the gas.
Gears are really hard to justify over a masterpiece like the MGW shifter. If you're sick of the stock shifter, yeah go for MGWs gift to humanity but if your definition of best bang for the buck factors passive acceleration increase into the equation heavily, I'd rock the gear swap. After that, the shifter, then the DS.
