it won't give you too much power per say, but you would get the most pep out of the gears/programmer combo.

if you do go that route, go with the sct xcal2 programmer.

If you do go with the gears, make sure you know they are going to cost several hundred to get installed, plus the bearings, gaskets and oil. I am a big fan of low gears, I changed my Chevy truck out to 4:56's, my Ford out to 4:56's and my latest project, ProjectCOBRA'33 runs a Winters quick change with 4:11 gears and the ability to quickly change those as I please.
Glade to See you have been a good boy all year, enjoy your new parts what ever you decide.
I too have been a pretty decent fellow these year, and for Christmas I 'm getting 1.Accufab throttle body for a 04-COBRA
2. Motoblue auxiliary idler pulley kit
3. 3-Motoblue idler pulleys
4. Good year belt
5. 2.75" Quick-change Blower puller
6. SCT tuner
7. Canton Expansion Tank
8. New Raptor 4R70C transmission w/close Ratio Gears
9. Ported/Polished Blower from Stegmeier
10.shrits and other junk

gears and tuner


you getting lt headers or shorties?

either way don't get the chrome ones. reason i ask is because the headers go for more around $400 rather than $300. best gains though is the gears and tuner. tuner works wonders especailly if you have an auto and the gears make a huge difference.

Dude. Have some respect. You own a stang. GEARS and the tuner. FTW. It wont give you say... any power, but... It will wake your stang up. Don't worry, you'll feel the effects of the gears more than anything else you listed. It's without question, the most enjoyable for you out of all of those. I promise you.

wat u mean have sum respect
Some respect for the stang man. Sure... she'll love the exhaust or wheels. But your totally dissin her without gears. She can't shift gears nearly as crisply as she should without em. Wanna make her look bad and feel weak? No. Of course not. GEARS.

Gears and the tuner are the best bet. You will notice the difference immediately.
