Default UDP or GEARS?

Ok, so my last mod was the CMDV Deletes. I have K&N Cai and flowmasters axle back. 93 octane tune from bren. So i was wondering, what should i do next. UDP or get 410 gears. I guess im just looking for which one first?

You guys are the best with the advice, thanks a lot!!!

I go with option 3: Change CAI for a better one i.e. C&L, JLT, Steeda.

I went with my gears first about 800 total with install, and parts including the FRPP diff cover. If you go with gears I do suggest going ahead and doing the cover as well. There are a number of different brands I went with frpp because I wanted it to say ford racing under my car [8D] Pulley is in the garage awaitng install and my e-water pump shouldarrive today.

Yea i was thinking about getting another cai, but i was looking at some basic dyno reads between the top cai's and K&N as opposed to c&L, airaid, and others were 3-5 horse difference which isnt much.

I guess, money wise, is it better to just save and get gears or just get the udp for cheaper and prob install myself?

gears and udp are in completely different fields. if u can install the udp go for it because you will get your 8 horses for 200 bucks, as opposed to the 7-900 a good gear+install runs. Plus with teh UDP you will not see a dip in mileage. But if you have the cash go with the gears. I have 4.10s and no UDP. Its all about how u want to do it and how the money flows. Good luck

Which gears do you have now? 3.31 or 3.55?

I'd go with a different intake, tune, and the UDP.

UDP - Pro: costs less, you can do it yourself easily, helps gas mileage some.
Con: won't notice it as much as gears
Gears - Pro: You'll feel more of a difference than just the UDP.
Con: It'll cost more if you don't do it yourself, gas mileage on the highway will suffer some.

Also, you can install a UDP yourself. Unless you know what you're doing, installing gears should be left to the professionals.

do the gears, 4.10's, you'll feel the most improvement. changing the CAI will get u 10 hp, i'm thinking of changing that later too along w/ UDP. mine is K&N also.

Yea, i plan on doing both udp and gears, i was just wondering which to do first. I think if i get the most expensive out of the way then i'll feel alot better. ALso, isnt it about torque and not horsepower anyway?
