i've ordered from Down's before and had zero problems with them. Bought a saleen s281 wing for my old 97 stang.

edit: dont know about their install work though. Being a dealership, i'd imagine it would be over-priced to get gears installed.

Mel! What ratio you going with? 3.73s if you want to do a power adder down the road and 4.10s if you're going to stay all motor.

I had my 3.73s installed by a local stang mechanic for $150. No whine. Perfect install. Bought the FRPP gear kit off americanmuscle. Wouldn't have done it any other way.

Oh and if you couldn't tell, gears > nitrous

Good luck!

Supposed to be allowed to get twin turbo's when the car is paid off (3 years), instead of getting a new car.

Was going to get 4.10s - I've read 3.73s for s/c or turbo, but I thought I saw someone here say they had 4.10s with a s/c and it was fine. Also, I figured the power adder is so far down the road that I might as well get the 4.10s now and enjoy it for 3 years, and if worse comes to worse, I'll switch to the 3.73s when I have to...

No clue! I'm still at the beginning stages of learning how to build the car - this is the first car I ever did anything with other than changing a tire, haha. But I figured I have 3 years to learn.

in three years you should know plenty

however its debated that the best way to learn is to do it!

Thank you for saving me the trouble. Cheating? Pfft.

Anyways go with gears first. The nitrous isnt half as fun without them and filling up bottles gets to be a PITA.

Streetstang...thank you for saying that lol.

Nitrous is a very cheap way to make HP. If done safely, it puts LESS stress on your car compared to a supercharger. If you spray 125-150 on a stock engine then yes, you are gambling. But if you stick to 100 with a good tune you will be fine. Just be sure to learn about nitrous before you think about buying it.

Because he probably sprayed a 100 shot with the stock fuel pump and a $hitty tune

I doubt he had a window switch either...or maybe he sprayed through gears

He MUST really care - no guy in his right mind would buy car parts for his wife - you have to really love a girl to do that!

I will, that was why I had posted "urgent", because it was so unexpected when he offered it and I never expected to do it anytime in the next 3 years, so I had no clue what to say when it was offered...
