i would go for gears since itll be worth it more for the gains in the long run.

Thats kinda what I thought, as well as Im getting sick of the "one wheel peel"

I just wasn't sure if my stock exhaust is "power robbing" enough to worry about it yet.

4.10s and a detroit true trac

if you can get a cheap exhaust, GT take offs with force flow muffers from summit racing will be a rather cheap good sounding exhaust

I have the force mufflers from summit sitting in my basement. I dont want to go with takeoff tho, Im gonna have a setup with an x-pipe made.

I was quoted $5-600(CDN) for the exhaust and about $1200(CDN) for the gears and posi. I was just figuring where to spend the money first. Its easier to save the larger amount over the winter so I'll probably spend the money on the gears first. Once summer rolls around, I tend to spend alot more and its harder to save for mods.

oh wait i just saw the canadian part. nevermind. but yeah if you do get an exahust your looking at what, 5 hp max from it. idk i would go with the gears. better acceleration and get both wheels spinning. both wheels spinning alone will be a big help if ur gonna be driving in winter so u can have more control of the car.

The price for the gears is everything included. I drop my car off and they get the parts and install. It is an amazing tranny shop, I wuld trust those guys with my life. They run and maintain a sweet CASCAR.

I dont drive my car in the winter and even though I dont peel my tires all that often, I dont want to wear one faster tan the other, plus going fast is good (YAY for gears!)

Nooooo WAy is it a t-lok. I mentioned it to the guy when I got my shift kit and he didn't even want to hear of it.

He was like " Those are crap and I don't order them"

He suggested the Auburn Posi I think (cant quite remember, it was like 5 months ago).
