How's it going guys I made a profile little ago but never introduced myself.
My name is Benjamin currently 20 years old and living in national city. I purchased few months back I would say in august my first(newer) car a 2008 mustang Gt! Hoping get meet a few of you guys soon, hopefully get some advise from the American muscle peeps!
I been into cars since I was 17 owned 3 vw's since then. I stanced them and built them. Hoping do same to my mustang.
I already got my jba exhaust put on and hid's(nothing fancy) but I'm purchasing hopefully by January my cai, 3:73 or 4:10 gearing( ofcourse with bearing kit) if anyone know good decent priced shops to install the gears. As well as hopefully getting my bama tuner because from what I read I will need to recalibrate my rpm because the gears will change it. Might as we'll buy bama tuner if I'm getting a tuner than the other ones right :p and lately be able to purchase a hurst short shifter. For most part I am a self mechanic but always like extra help or someone guide me through if I'm not completely knowing of what I am doing. If anyone out there willing teach me some of there master mechanic skills when I get my short shifter or if you can do gears to let me know the help and advise would be appreciated! I love my car so far just would like to open this motor up to it's true potential! Thanks for reading guys! Hopefully get some good feedback and advise from you all!

Welcome to WickedStangs, Benjamin and congrats on your Mustang. I would recommend getting the 4.10 since you have a manual. We can help you with putting in your gears and shifter with a donation to the club, which would be considerably cheaper than any shops and the install would be just as good. When you are ready, you can post up in the "Wickedstangs Install Garage" section and someone will get back to you. This is a good opportunity to learn how to put in the gears and shifter.
Again, welcome to WickedStangs and hope to see you at some of our events.
