Shops in Jersey for Jerry Mod and 4.10 gears?

[vidmaster]

Hey guys, just got my 01 auto GT w/ 20k miles last week. Since I don't have the cash for boost right now, the consensus seems to be to go with motive or frpp 4.10 gears and the jerry mod (plus b&m tranny cooler). This car is my daily driver and needs to be reliable and get me back and forth to work so is it relatively safe to do these? It appears to be from the tons of threads already about the gears.

Also, should I get a 'programmer' or just get a custom burned chip?

Lastly, what the thread is about, does anyone know any reputable shops in NJ that will do all of this stuff without ripping me off? I'm in Ocean County (central east NJ) if it helps. Thanks!

I can tell you for certain that a transmission cooler, jerry mod shift kit, and gears are great mods for the automatic. Anyone who tells you any differently doesn't know what they're talking about. Yes, they will be fine and are perfect for a daily driven car. Don't listen to people who tell you that "4.10 gears are too much" either as these people don't know what they're talking about. 4.10's and 4.30 gears are optimal gears for the 99-04 4.6ltr GT's, especially the automatics.

As for either a programmer or chip, contact Superchips tuning and talk to them. They have a great staff on hand ready to support you and best of all, Jerry Wroblewski(designer of "jerry mod shift kit") works for them. They'll probably recommend a custom burned chip over a programmer. However, they'll probably recommend a dyno tune over anything else, so if you can arrange a dyno tune, I'de do that instead.

As for shops in New Jersey, I personally don't know of any. However, you are up there in NJ where a lot of the guys from Modular Depot are at so I'de say go to www.modulardepot.com and post this same question over there and see if any of the guys there can't come "help a brother out" with the install.
