Ive saved up $700-750 for the stang. My current mods are in the sig. Right now im looking into Steeda Underdrive Pullies, 3.90 gears, and MM Subframe connectors.
The pullies are around $170, the gears $180, and the connectors $120. That alone totals $470 more or less. Therefor im left with about $280 for all installation costs. That seems alittle tight considering the installation costs for the gears would be decently high (subframes should be minimal). I know i can install the pullies myself.

Anyways, what other parts would i need for the gear installation? i only want to pay the shop for the work, not any parts. Therefor, what else would i need? (what speedo cal gear? other parts?) Finally, what companies make 3.90's? does Ford motorsports/racing or any other good companies make them? Otherwise ill be between 4.10s and 3.73, leaning toward 4.10s. (i drive 18 miles each way 6 days a week on the highway) Last question, what is a good price for gear installation? (either without parts, or with parts.)
Thanks guys, just want to plan this all out properly.
Mike

p.s if any of the above parts have to go due to not having enough money, its gonna be the subframes.

you'd need a ECU reflash, or chip, or speedcal for your gears..and i think the gear install could be about 280 just by itself..the subs could cost maybe 200 to installl...
