need some help here
 

Hello every im new to the forum:D i have an 03 mustang gt.
any here is my question

I bought the car with an exhaust on it (SLP). and i am buying a cold air intake eather tomorrow or early next week.

well i was thinking about getting gears 4.10(what else would i need to get to install them?)
but a couple of my friends say its not worth it and say i should get a chip.
i can not afford both of them i can only get one as of right now.
What should i get? the chip or the gears??


Thanks in advance

Gears > Chip. You'll feel SO much more result from the gears than the chip.
Of course, you could always get both. : D http://www.americanmuscle.com/xcal2-...r-oil-kit.html

You'll need gear oil and a bearing kit for the install. If you take it to a shop they can provide those, but it will be cheaper to purchase them from americanmuscle or stangmods.com.

You'll also want to look into getting a T-lok:

yess i was looking at that package.
it seems pretty good
could i get the gears then say a couple of months down the road get Spline Traction?? i wish i was made out of money and get it at the same time but now so would that work out ok if i got one at a time??

Gears > Chip x2

If you get the gears only, like Zip said you'll want the gear oil and bearing kit (because gear whine sucks), and probably a speedcal to correct your speedometer.

Overall that xcal2/gears combo is a great deal because you can get both of those close to what you could get the (1) Livewire tuner for. Good deal. And definitely look into a T-Lok sometime.

he has a GT it has a t-lok

I'll be honest, I don't know what a spline traction is. But if you're referring to a bearing kit, yes. You can get the gears without a bearing kit, but you'll more than likely have quite a bit of gear whine and the gears might be subject to more wear with the worn out bearings of your stock gears.

EDIT: Thanks, lazerred. For some reason I thought he had a sixer.

ok so i found a kit with a speed cal in it like some one recomended to get

so that kit looks like the one i will be getting.

Now for the baring kit i have no idea what to get for that please help with that

http://www.americanmuscle.com/rearendrebuild.html i need one that recommended for over 60k miles on the car. (is this one good) again ihave an 03 gt if that helps

Since you need to fix the speedo for the gear change might as well save up get a tuner to fix the speedo and do the gears and all at once.

ok so ur saying just get this kit with those gears?
