Default $1000

I have a thousand bucks to spend on my 03 GT 5 spd, and I was wondering what you guys think. I for sure want the short throw. Any suggestions?

gears (410 or 430)

forget the shifter...but if you must get a MGW
and then do some exhaust work, headers/midpipe/catback.

Then worry about induction, intake.

But for sure get gears and headers. 1000 will get the gears/ headers and install for one of them, but to install the other you'll have to hold off less you find an AMAZING deal.

Gears about $400-550 installed, Shifter,( I like the mgw shifter $180), CAI (I like the densecharge $170), and put the other $100 back and save up for exhaust

Forgive my ignorance but what do you all mean by gears? Where does it go, what does it do for ya, etc.? I'm sorry but I do not know.

4.10> 3.27

They go in the big thing in between your two rear axles, lol.

remember on your old huffy bike, when you would switch gears the chain would go either to a bigger sprocket or a smaller sprocket? Same thing here. 4.10 gears rotate the axles more at 3000 rpm's than 3.27's do, therefore, you get faster acceleration.

Thats about the best I can explain it.

go with some 4.10's, a short shifter, and steeda pulleys....then when you have the money i HIGHLY recommend you do a full exhaust swap (headers,mid-pipe, cat back), personally I think Bassani is the best way to go for exhaust.
