Yup, I agree.. You should make sure your blinker fluid is full though.

the gear thread will answer all of your questions. its a long read but what your asking has been answered numerous times.....

gears are a sort of expensive mod. 200 for gears 200-250 for install (typically) 300-400 for a tuner so you can correct the speedo. for the 05+ GT's you mine as well get a CAI with a tuner.

so if you want to stack miles on your car faster without a tuner than do the gears.

i run 3.73 in my fox. with about a 26" tall wheel/tire package. because the gears help, the motor barely works just tooling around town. so i get 20 mixed, and about 24 on the interstate cruising at 70-75 mpg turning 2500-2750 rpm.

does just fine, i can comfortly be doing 35mph in 5th gear in a cammed 5.0 that makes not much torque...
