uhh i cant remember but i dont think u have a 2005+ so all u need is a speedo correction

so... my gear install was about 300. others have gotten it cheaper, others more expencive, but that is a good amount to assume to pay

as far as tune, all you really need is a speedo correction, i did this with a Diablosport handheld.

Im sure you can find a cheaper route than a handheld tuner, but it does give you plenty of flexability for the future.

Everything cost me about $650 including: Motive 4.10s, Royal Purple synthetic, Dallas mustang speedcal, and installation for it all.

If you have a good tuner in the area, then Id just get a chip. If not, then get a hand held tuner so a good shop can email you tunes.

Gear install will be anywhere from $200- $300. You can look at prices for chips and tuners on sites. But Id go with SCT stuff. The other thing you have to consider is a rebuilt kit, which Id get from Randy.

If the rear end is apart, change everything. Better to be safe than sorry. I only had 13,5XX on my 06 and I had them change out almost everything.

I have been pondering this idea as well, since most of my driving I do is highway miles and I drive about 80miles highway round trip per day and then 10-15city.

Would a gear change do me any good or hurt me in my mpg's?

my auto before the supercharger got the same mpg. city was 18-20 and highway was 24-26. after the supercharger i get 17-18 city and 22-24 highway not bad for 400 horsepower at 2800 rpms going 75.
