Default Is this a good gear/tuner combo?

American Muscle has a X-Cal 2 tuner w/ FRPP 4.10 gears and 3 qts. Royal Purple gear oil for $569. Is this a good deal. Do yall think the FRPP gears are better than the motive gears? Here's the link:

I would say no since those are the Canned SCT tunes.....you will spend atleast another $100 for 3 good tunes from Bama or Brenspeed


Also FRPP > Motive

You might as well get an intake along with the tuner and gears

Definitely stick with FRPP, but recommend you get intake and tuner package and buy gears
separately. Here's a good site for both! http://rpmoutlet.com/05gt.htm $500 for CAI& tuner, $200 for gears.
(also recommend Diablo tuner)
