Gears And T-loc... Any Tunning Needed?

itschristorres8 · September 9th, 2006, 01:56 PM

k after my tires, my next step is guna be gettting t-loc and gears. my question is which am i suppose to get the 4.10 or 3.73...i have a manual trans..
also when i get those, do i have to get my car tuned afterwards?
and how whould i do that or where would i go?

srry if these are stupid question but i wana be sure also...thnks for any help!

there are many debate threads on here for the gear selections, but most say on the v6 go with 3.73 for T5 (manual) and 4.10 for 4r70w (automatic), or 4.10 for N/A and 3.73 for F/I, but none the less you will need to correct the computer for the gear ratio change which can be done several ways... handheld tuner such as SCT XCAL2 or Strategy, Diablo.... going to the dealership where they can reflash, getting a custom reflash or chip from your local tunning shop or even a mail order chip from a tuning shop like VMPTuning.

ok well i also plan on gettting the x-cal2...so should i just get that along witht he the gears? cuz idk if i get it tunned, then i get that and i have to get it tuned again...
also witht he x-cal2 is it easy to tune the car?! ive never used one or anythin lik it soo im jus wondering

if you get the xcal 2, you can change the speedo through that by selecting a different axle ratio.

You could also go to this place:

www.v6mustangstuff.com

They offer a good selection for V6's and they also have mechanical replacement parts for you to install when you change your gears and/or the T-lok. I am lookin at gettin their 3.73 gear and T-lok in a couple of months and I'd rather not flash if I don't have to to so.
Also, on another forum I asked about the 4.10 gears and was told that they will run your RPM's higher, not sure what kind of damage that will do under daily driving. But, the guy did say that it constantly sounds like it's burining up or something, especially when he gets on the highway or freeway.
