Do you expect the "hand-tuner" to be the only thing to make you fast?

Without some other mods, the tuner isn't going to give you much. Get the other bolt on's first. Then get gears, T-Lok, and the tuner. Read the manual it comes with, and go from there.

Parts are FRPP's.

I was looking at those 4.10s and was trying to find a less expensive t-lock although I don't think a t-lock is necessary for an automatic.

It's not necessary, but it does make the rear end more stable in certain situations. Like drag racing, or laying down rubber.
And before the peanut gallery chimes in. YES a 6 CAN burn rubber!!!!
