While I'm waiting on my body kit to come in, It's time to order my gears. I already bought the T-lock from caddstang for 185 shipped.....now the gears. Should I get them from autobadges, or is there a site I can get them? I know there is a sticky for this but is there anything else I should get with that?

I'd definatly go with AutoBadges. He carries FRPP's and they are a reasonable price.

Just Pm'd him. Can't wait. Hear this is a great mod. Also just sent my X-Cal 2 back to get it set for adjustability so I can adjust after I get them in. Guy is doing it for free since I'm a customer. Now I'll be able to adjust everything using my X-cal without having to buy the cable or the 300 dollar software. If anyone is looking for a tuner he is the man. Hockers high performance out of florida. Will give a great price, and the customer support is awesome. He will take care of you. I can get you his e-mail if you're intersted. Just let me know.....

Don't worry about the years, not sure about the x cal, but the diablo tuner works on 96-04 3.8L, not the 04 3.9L sorry. Hope this helps. I know the question wasn't adressed to me, but ebay also has some great deals on tuners, but check with autobadges, because he can get you a new one. ebay tuners will run between $225-$300, mine was $275, just incase you are looking for a price range on the diablos, the, x cals are usually a hair bit cheaper.

Gears will cost about the same for whatever ratio. Usually within $20.00. Install prices vary from shop to shop. The first shop I asked, told me 8 hrs at $65.00/hr. That's called book rate. If they quote book rate, RUN! Shop around. I had mine installed, with T-Lok(posi unit) at a local race shop for $250.00. Usually you can get it done from $200-$300. Any more, and again I say, RUN!
Read the stick we have for gears. I'm still not feeling well, so I may not explain it as well as I could.

make sure to get 4.10 no matter what. you'll regret getting 3.73s later if you got those.
