Getting rid of that 2.42 gear for something 3.23 or probably above will make a huge difference in acceleration. I'm running 3.55 w/my 400 and the jump from the 2.73's was amazing. Do the other mods Mr. P-Body suggests. I think you can get it to run good with out getting too much other work, if you do the headers etc.. and decide you still need more, you'll already have what you need in place to support smaller chamber heads and a rowdier cam. At some point torque converter might come into the equation too.
