I'd vote #4 too, plus it'll save you $500 from your budget (which could be used for install, new clutch packs, bearings, fluid, etc.).

That tuner isn't just helpful for gears/speedo, it'll also make your gains slightly bigger from CAI, exhaust, TB & Plenum, etc...at least that's what I've noticed when I got mine. Can't beat the unlimited tunes as well.

gears! headers arent worth the headache or the money. wheels would be nice but way more than everything on the list.

youll grin ear to ear if you swap the gears, im assuming you are a 5 speed right?

I would get the gears. If I could go back in time and blow my money on something it should have been the gears.
