Um.

Gears won't give you more power.

Engines do that.
What do you want to do?

Are you looking for low or top end?

Remember, what you do with one differential must be done to both.

Gears won't give you more "power", but it will give you better acceleration, b/c they will put your engine in the proper working RPMs.
Gears aren't that expensive.
You could get a set of ring and pinions with master install kits for about $500, but the expensive part is they are extreamly hard to install, and usually requires a proffessional to do it right, which could cost another $500-$600.
