Where's the best place to get it all, (gears, T-Lok, bearing kit and all) in one place? Or do I have to go to a couple of places?

What is the sense of a cold air intake if it is still sucking the same amount of air through the stock throttlebody. A bigger throttle body will give you more power than a cold air intake alone. If your just using it to cruise dont even waste your money on bolt ons and save for a faster car aka V8, it will give you the sound and power and comes with traction lok stock.

A throttle body is a total waste of $$$ on a 6er without porting the intake to match, AND getting the supporting mods. Matter of FACT, you can actually LOSE power with a larger throttle body without the other mods.

I guess it only applies to a V8 then.

if you have every bolt on available, +. then throttle bodys are not worthless. if you put a 65mm TB on a stock car you will NOT loose power. if you put on a 80mm then yes you will. Ive noticed latly that local shops sell products cheaper then online. $75 for brand new 4:10's. its an off brand but they have lifetime warranty. so check local shops too.

OK so, I have an sn95. I get UD pulley, CAI, 3.73 gears, and a T-Lok and I'm set (to start with, of course), right? And how long does installation usually cost to do the gears and diff?

Go 4.10's you will wish you did after you pay 300 for the install of your 3.73's!! really it's all up to you....but my suggestion is DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO HAS NOT 1.DONE A GEAR SWAP 2.WHO DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN STOCK GEARS! i paid 133.00 for gears swap an posi install it took about 4 hours! don't just look for price when it comes to install cheaper doesn't=quality! go somewhere that has done them before preferably a race shop.
Just a few misconseptions of 4.10 gears...."you will only beable to go like 60MPH on the highway" BS BS BS! I have had my car to 120 a few times probably faster but thats all it reads!
"you will get horrible gas mileage".....BS BS BS! i only lost roughly 2 MPG!
"you won't be able to control it"....BS BS BS! drive with some sense don't go FT in a turn on wet roads period!
Just a rant sorry! like i said we are here for suggestions IT'S YOUR CAR!
