I have a question.
I know I've seen the dyno gains, and all the reccomendations, so i've decided go to with SCT.

But what I haven't heard much of is how much did you feel the tuner wake up your car? I know it makes the car better depending on how many mods you have done. But is there a real noticeable difference?

I want to get gears, but I thought this would be better first.

[DeMello]

gears are gonna wake your car up alot more then a tuner

[Orangester]

Yeah, but I don't want to spend the extra 200 dollars to have them installed right now.
I want to do one last mod to it before I go to college.

But I can get a Posi unit from a friend for 100 dollars.
Where can I get a set of FRPP 4.10 gears?

jess@re on here

and you have exhuast?

[MWWarlord]

+1 gears will do more. However, I think you should get the tuner first so you can use it to recalibrate your speedo. Also consider getting your tuner from trick tuners. Joe will give you 2 years of free retunes. That way you can get all the gains from just the tuner(which for me was about 20HP but I had some other mods) and then when you get the the gears you can get a tune for them for free. VMP will charge you every time you want a new tune. Also, I'm not sure but I think with our MM discount the tuner itself will be cheaper from trick tuners.

how bout a cai for like 70 bucks and save till you can do gears and a tune at the same time

[MWWarlord]

He'll see a lot more from the tuner than from a CAI.

i know...but 70 bucks vs 380 lol

im jsut sayin...if he wants to do soemthign to his car b4 he goes...and he can pocket the 300 left over to do gears and tuner in a couple months or somthing

[MWWarlord]

He can get the tuner for less than $380. Just not from VMP. Although I see your point. I just think the tuner is a better mod overall as well as a better mod for the money.

[Orangester]

Won't be working the next couple of months because of college.
I have season tickets to the Iowa Hawkeyes games.
Ha, college is gonna rule.

Anywho, I was debating doing the tuner or just going with a few exterior mods for now, then a full overhaul during the winter.

[MWWarlord]

I'd go with the tuner, but it's up to you man.

not much....

[DeMello]

save the money for taking girls out at college?!?!

[obdnanr]

if you get gears first you can get the tuner afterwards to fix ur speedo, less you have an older stang

[itschristorres8]

a tuner is well worth the money
especially in thr future
with light bolt ons and a tune that could have used some worok it cut .3-4 off my 1/8 e/t
which is a lot for just a tuner

[stangdriven]

Honestly man, if you want to notice a difference and go quicker, get the sct xcal 2 or 3 tuner and then get the gears, you will NOT regret it. i have a 96 5spd with 373 gears posi and xcal 2 and it woke my stang up bigtime. yea its money but then again its very much worth it.

[Avaric3]

longtube headers and o/r h-pipe now. than save for gears/t-lok/tuner all at once. youll need to get the tuner and gears at the same time anyways to calibrate your speedo.
