Ok,
Its time for a new budget upgrade for my 95 Cobra. I wanted to get some input before I do this. I have all the normal bolt ons.
BBk intake, BBk headers, BBk X pipe, Borla exhaust, MSD dis, msd coil, short throw. What would get me more for my money? 3.73's or an SCT 4 bank chip?

Thanks

hey John,
how much is the typical gear install? If I want to do it myself. On a scale of 1 to 10 how hard is the install? I'm going to pick this kit up. is this a good buy?

it's not really about it being hard it's about doin it right. If u never done it before I'd just let johnb do it. Gears isn't really somethin u wanna install wrong
