RE: 4.10s or short throw
Both will make the car more fun to drive, the gears will make it accelerate much faster and the shifter will make shifting more efficient. If you go with the gears, you don't NEED to get a tuner. You can get a Speedcal and that will recalibrate the spedometer for you. They run about $100. However, if you have the extra money for a tuner, get that since you can do so much more with it.
Either way you go, you'll be happy with whatever you get first.
EDIT: I have the Tri-ax, and I love it. Haven't tried out the MGW, but I hear it is good too. I think either one would be a good choice.

Go with the shifter first. MGW is considered the best in the market at this time. Make sure to go with it. Go with the gears after that and then get you a tuner. You might wanna find you a good shift **** that you feel comfortable with and something that you like alot. That means something too.

+1000 on the gears, the car will feel a lot faster with low gears. But gears(200)+install(400)+turner(400)=1000 bucks vs 200 for shifter and install is free.
Prices were estimates, so no b!tchin about how thats way to much.
P.S. If you can go drive a simmular car with low gears and then you will see how fast you will want them.

The Tri-Ax is a very respectable shifter.
If it were my money I go for the MGW.
I would get the shifter ('cause you can install it yourself) then when you get the extra cash go for the 4.10.
Both are a great addition to your ride and you will be pleased with them as mod's.

RE: 4.10s or short throw
I have a Steeda TRIAX in my Cobra, and it sucks compared to the MGW that i had in my gt... Only reason I have this shifter still in here is because the short throw is one of the cheaper holiday presents i can have someone get me, haha... but +1 on the gears.. they'll make a more noticable difference but remember gears + install + tune = a lot of money. You will pay 150-200 for gears, 2-400 for install based on location (I paid 200$), atleast another 100 for speedo recalibration (your speedo doesnt work right after gears), or 379+ for a tune (you can recal the speedo with the tuner)... so that could be upwards 450-1000$ depending on what you get.. i'd save up to make sure you did the gears and tune right... short throw is nice to have though
