i say those 2. 4.10s will wake your car up like none other trust me i wish i would have done that alot sooner not sure how much your local shop charges for the gears and tune but if you have enough money left over get the radials because you will need them with the new gear. you wont gain much with the x other than some sound and a STS is always a good idea. i dont see a need for the last one until you have some more power so i say A&B are your best options

o/r midpipe w/ MILs and short throw shifter is $400 tops, put the rest towards gears and installation.

Thanks for all the help. Will I need to swap out the axles to run drag radials or are the stock strong enough?

Stock is strong enough if you're fairly nice to her. Just don't dump it.

I know what you mean, mine is a DD as well. Can't haul anything in a Mach so I'm looking for a beater truck. I go to MIR often, but no every weekend or anything. It's a good track. Nice facility and it's known for being pretty fast and the surface is always well prepped. Not for me right now though...4.10s and street tires ain't working well together. Hoping for some good rubber some time soon. Let me know if you come down sometime.

Definately lol and i don't blame you I know how expensive going threw tires can be, I got a liitle addicted to burnouts in the 99 GT i sold to get the mach.
If you can send me the dates when they are doing test and tune that would be great then I can plan which weekend I will come down.
