Both options are good choices, why not go with gears?

Well because gears are $600 bought and installed...FLSFC are $150ish and clutch parts are under $100. Not to mention that's down time for my car for the gear install and I just started a new job so that won't look good. Modular Depot (down the street from me quoted the $600) and they are not open on weekends

03 GTswag I really appreciate it, I love to play with the car every weekend and that was something I was worried about giving up by moving out here. I have a whole tool chest, but no air tools or welder. If I got the SFC's I would deff keep you in mind for having a welder. A MIG I take it??
Yeah Its a MIG. I have air tools and a nice size portable craftsman air compressor too.

Well she does have a truck as well to tow the horse trailer so it's a possibility. But it's still $600 I don't think I'm prepared to spend just yet with appartment shopping/ rent on my "To Do" list.

Since I would be doing this at my fiance's farm where she works (where all my tools are stored and such).
i recently installed mine in my single car garage in college. all i have is a very basic craftsman hand tool set up here. i don't even have a jack here with me. all of my good tools are back home in st louis. again, its a cake walk.

Waste of money to buy a firewall adjuster/quadrant on a factory clutch.

The only thing I noticed after subframes was full length jack up points at my disposal.

You must not be able to tell the difference between 266rwhp and 500rwhp then. lol It was a night and day difference when i did my subframe connectors, and my car already had them stock cus its a vert. They werent much but they were more than a coupe has. I would really say the subframe connectors would be your best bet my friend.
