Next Performance Parts
just trying to decide where to go next. i would love to do 4.10 gear but i cant find any shops around that will do it. i checked prices at ford and a few other places but they want to charge me 1100.00 for it. i think that is way to much. if i could find a shop within resonable distance i would absolutely do that next. but i cant seem to find anything.
just finished putting a catback on and have a brenspeed tuned sct x3. i was going to go for a new midpipe but i was thinking of maybe getting the accufab 75 mm tb/plenum combo and a short ram intake all at once so air induction is finished in one install.
any opinions on this?

should read some of the stickies. 75mm tb/plen are not worth the money on an N/A car. one of the stickies the guy dyno tested vs. stock and he actually lost horsepower. HOWEVER on a supercharged car gained 18rwhp over stock. unless you got FI or head/cam work opening up the intake too much on a 2v can actually hurt you because you kill the venturi effect and put turbulence in the air intake. unless you want the "bling" under the hood the stock tube with a K+N and the silencer removed is just fine.
i guarantee you can find a shop to do it less than 1100$. are you asking them for gears and install or what? the shops here charge too much and the most expensive quote i got was like 600$ (shade tree mechanic was like 400) but i had my gears, diff fluid, and a rebuild kit already.
midpipe would be a decent/cheap upgrade and no reason to retune it. a 93 generic tune is fine.

Did some serious searching and I did find a place I think I cantrust for gear install. Now the question is what ratio to go with. I think I may have read almost every post I could find on this forum about 4.10 and 3.73 and I still don't know what to decide on.
Is it true that 4.10 won't pass emission? Read that on a reply on a topic at this forum.
I know everyone has said thief opionion on the tpoic in various other posts but I'll take any new responses as to opionins as to what would work ot the best.
