[QUOTE="Thump_rrr, post: 5900184, member: 36572"] As far as the shifter goes the Hurst is a glorified stock shifter with a chrome handle and a white ball. If you're looking for a great short throw shifter the best is the MGW but it's very pricey. You can get great performance by just installing the Saleen short throw adapter along with a set of urethane shifter bushings from Steeda. The original price on the short throw adapter was $29.99 but there have been several increases since.

We all jumped to 4.10's and didn't regret it one bit. I would only purchase FRPP gears and have them done by a reputable shop. When doing gears you will also need a tuner such as a Diablosport Predator or an SCT X-Cal II or III to recalibrate the spedometer. If you get a programmer then the next logical step is to get a CAI. The 3 best are the Steeda, C&L, and the Demolet Tunable Induction. All 3 show very similar gains. Shocks won't cure the wheelhop or even mask it. The cause of the wheelhop is the hydra bushing in the UCA (Upper Control Arm) or third link. Some people will tell you that it's the LCA (Lower Control Arm) bushings but they are masking the true cause which is the UCA bushings. I ran the car with the stock LCA's and Steeda UCA for 6 months without any wheelhop. Get an adjustable one if you will be going with lowering springs so that the pinion angle can be adjusted. I have the Steeda unit in mine but CHE makes a good one at a reasonable price. If you want to replace the shocks later get the Tokico D-Spec adjustables which are worth the money. [/QUOTE]
