tuner would be a good buy after the gears then you could tune for them and such.

i would have to say that power wise a tune, cause gears and t loc don't add power, just help you use power better

a tuner is just a good overall mod. If you get it you'll be very happy.

i dont think a tuner will give you that same noticeable effect. wil you notice a difference? of course. but after gears and posi your car just accelerates so much faster. and a tuner wont drop your time as much as the gears and posi will. alone that is.

I have to agree with doing the tuner first, especially since you already have the gears and just need to get them installed.

Be sure to get 2 tunes programmed - one without the gears so you can use it now and one with the gears for when they are finally installed.
