6 speeds are freaking expensive when they break. You just need more power.

Good point

My list of things to do is getting short. Pretty much cleaning up the wiring, installing my exhaust tip, and then its onto the "final" stages of more power and getting this thing painted.

Powerwise, I'm not going crazy. Just a few simple/cheap upgrades for now.

This is where a 4K GSK comes into play, a little more rpm in 3rd gear cures the 3-4 shift and you can rebuild an NV4500 2 times to the once of a NV5600. The $100 GSK kit, in my opinion, trumps the $1400 upgrade from reman NV4500 to reman NV5600.
