Default need advice

ok everyone on here keeps talking about all of these upgrades that i dont fully understand but would like to
1. T-Loc / Detroit
2. Gears
3. why is D2D shifting better than 1,2, D on an auto and please explain the concept and how to D2D shift
ok i guess thats all for right now but what do these do and is the T-Loc for manual or auto? thanks i know i feel stupid for asking this but if i dont ask how will i learn

1. fixes the one wheel burnout and gives better traction
2. dont know how to realy explain it but it gives u more lower end power because of the gear ratio which means better torque off the line and quicker acceleration and better 1/4 mile times
3. i dont know how to do it i never understood and couldnt tell the difference i think i was doingit wrong but i was told it makes the shifts firmer and can actualy make the tires chirp or break loose when shifting

the tlok makes both wheels spin helps alot
gears stock are 3.27 i think that means the tires do 3,27 rotations per drive shaft turn so if you got 4.10 it turns the wheels 4.10 times

4.10s makes your car rev faster, so at 80 mph you will be at 3000 rpm rather then 2500 or whatever it is stock, you loose 2 mpg on the highway - for both autos and 5 speeds

a true trac or trash lok is a limited slip, it transfers power to both wheels evenly under acceleration

for the D2D, about 300 rpms before the redline pull the shifter back from drive to the 2 spot, this is like a built in shift kit, shift lasts less then half a second and is firm, can be done anywhere in the RPM band however to firm shifts (i do it around 4300 and can paint a 2-4 foot strip under right conditions)

it firms up the 1-2 shift, like a built in shift kit
