Default pro 5.0 shifter or sniper tune?

just like the title says which mod would be the best to do first. The 5.0 shifter is 160 and the sniper tune is 357. What would you guys do first. Thanks.

I'd buy sniper. The shifter is more of a luxury in my opinion but still good to have.

Tune, shifters are worthless. I can shift just as fast with the stock as I can physically press and release the clutch pedal.

well i did it. Just bought the sniper tuner. Heard so many great things about them here on the board i feel that i made a pretty good purchase. Anyone have any real world numbers from these tuners as far as HP and TQ or 1/4 times?

I don't know the numbers but their 93 octane tune made the car pull better. You'll need the tuner anyways because your sig says you need a new rear and of course you're not putting 3.27's in right?

of course im not. im debating on 3.73's or 4.10's. I do a lot of highway driving being in the military and i dont want to eat to much into the gas mileage or engine life because of cruising at higher rpms.

iMTB what kind of rpms do you turn at highway speeds, 70-80 mph?
