don't worry about a throttle body won't do anything for you right now. As far as driveway type stuff...how mechanicly inclined are you?

Like they said unless you have heads and cams or blown dont bother with a TB. I would like they said either look into a supercharger or look into new rear gears and a T-lok (fords posi fyi).

3.73 gears sound good? I dont know what about a shift kit? with gears and a shift kit i would have to take my pony to a shop and have it tuned, correct? so that the shift points and rpm guage were set

Also UDP? Seems cheap and frees up round 10hp from those damn parasites

if i get gears do i need to update my xcal 2 or will they work after install. also, i didnt update the tuner to begin with, shop did, but is it easy to change my shift firmness and shift times, etc?

since its an auto i would do 4.10 gears. As for the tune the tune needs to be changed so the car knows it has 4.10 gears now and change the speedo and let the car shift correctly again.

I don't consider gears and t-lok a driveway mod unless you are very mechanicly inclined. It's not the easier of mods. An underdrive pulley is but for the gains the issues people are having with them isn't worth it to me. But nitrous is
