4.10s, I don't know if the rear end is different from the older models or not, but they make 4.10s for a 7.5

If you don't have a posi, get a posi (i think they come with one)

Tuner: SCT is what I would go, if you want the tune for it, www.vmptuning.com is a great site, the guy that owns it posts on here as well, owns a v6 twinturbo, knows his stangs.

If you go with an H pipe, youd might as well get one fabricated.

But yea, big ones are Gears/Tune (you'll need a tune if you get gears to correct the speedometer.)

With an auto, I would definately get the 4.10's. You will need a tuner for sure with the gears with a custom tune for the car. The tuner will firm-up the shift points too. Car will feel and drive much better.

I don't know about the newer V-6's, but with the GT's most CIA's require tune modifications. Only way to know for sure is to get the car dynoed tuned.

I was talking to my friend and he said that the tune should be the last thing I do to my car because after each part I buy for my car it'll need a retune?

ya his right, It will be better to get it tune after u put all the parts you need to change. i will say put the gears last and tune it after.

I'm i wrong??

if you cant, hit it all up the same day, then take it easy driving to the tuner and have it all tuned at once.
