Alright. We'll see what some others say about it, I'll talk to some people and then probably order. It'll save me $200 to put towards that installation for the gears + the speedo cali. I'll install the headers/midpipe myself.

Yeah, I know they're a pain. It took my friend about 8 hours to install his headers. He has a 97 GT with the top half of an 03 GT engine. Anyways, I'm guessing I'll let him do it with me or get them installed.
Just curious -- you wouldn't know any shops around Ohio/PA (West PA) that are any good would ya?

Do you think the mid pipe I chose was fine? (Mustang SLP X-Pipe (Off-road 99-04), http://www.mustangtuning.com/slpxpipe.html).

So then... what's the vote -- honestly... should I get the 3.73's or the 4.10's considering I'm definately either supercharging it or twin turboing it... with a lot of boost.
Also -- does anyone know of any shops around the Dayton area or Youngstown (Ohio) that can do good work.

Toledo isn't too bad. Columbus is closer for me so I'll to check there. If you know of any shop names it would be much appreciated
I doubt anything local would be able to help, but who knows. I dunno if I trust those people installing gears or the headers. Do you think a FORD dealership would have knowledgeable enough people to?

Two Ford dealerships quoted me 8 hours to do gears. No thanks. I don't think it's something that they do often.

I went to Ford to get my second key programmed, they said it'd take 2 hours
