Talking Sweet sound

Now what do I do......
Went towing 8000 lbs into 28mph wind with gusts to 45 this weekend so OD was out of the question.
So as I spun along at 75mph with rpm at 3200, I became addicted to the sweet sound of a v10 at 3200 rpm. It sounds and feels like a cat ready to pounce!
I can't use overdrive any more, it just don't seem right!
What to do next;
Do I need a chip, headers and 5.88 gears to keep it screaming all the time?
Hey help me out guys!

If you are willing to spend some $$$$$$$$$$$$$......

My recommendation is a Banks Power Pack and a Diablo chip.
Of course I am biased when it comes to this advice.

The gearing should cost around $1200, and that may be the route if you have large tires and are pulling quite often.

If not, pack and chip.
