The 727s arent too bad, but you're turning quite a few more rev's than I was in my 4.10 5spd truck (real close in final ratio). You will have some slip in the torque convertor, but should be <150rpm if you have a good convertor. Get the Goerend Bros TC in there and see how you like it.
Adding an OD will (theoretically) drop your RPM to 1587 @ 65mph. A little lower than ideal, but an improvement over now. But with the auto, it will likely be more like 1700, which is the sweet spot for empty hwy MPGs.
K&N isnt big enough to be a BHAF, as it is only stock size. BHAF is almost twice the filter size the stocker is. Plus, it filters better than the K&N. (so do most windowe screens
) Which reminds me, check your intake hose every oil change and clean the dust off it. K&Ns work fine on naturally aspirated engines (had one in a 6.9 Ford, and it stayed clean as a whistle), but not so well on turboed engines in certain areas of the continent.
Before buying a turbo, decide how much power you want, get the injectors you need to get there, and then buy enough turbo to feed the injectors. Do it once, and you will be money ahead. This assumes, of course, that you buy new, and cant get your money back out of stuff when you upgrade. If you buy good used, you can break even, and the upgrading wont cost you as much in the long run.
