Shift kit.... here

Tuner.... here

**** if you get the shift kit and tuner on the car at the same time... make sure you let Justin (the guy that does the tuning at VMP) know so he can adjust the shift pressures with the tuner to complement the shift kit


Differentials and gears
T-lok (limited slip differential) here
~
for super tough applications(like200 rwhp+) Detriot True Trac... here

Gears
4.10 ratio... here
3.73 ratio... here

Rear-end oil... here
Friction modifier, for Ford T-Lok ONLY (and you need it too!).... here

Gear install kit.... here
*** it'sVERYwise to do the ring and pinion install kit so your rear end issolid/fail-proof

As for the torque converter, they have little to no use while your driving down the street... basically for drag racing only. They are expensive too... like $700-plusfor a good one + install price.


I'd recommend getting everything professionally installed. Especially the gears/differential.

i think i would have waited for the perfect deal if i was you, like waited to find that exact car but manual. but you already got it, you could look for the car in manual, and sell the auto and get the manual but your dads probly not gonna like that idea after he just got you that one lol.


how often are you going to be on an actual track?

if your just looking to blow around on the streets and are keeping the auto, i would go with 4.10 gears, cai, shift kit, exhaust
