Gears. Most bang for the buck IMO.

Are you ssure you've done your research? We discussed in another thread the carrier break for the 9.75, and with 4.56s, you will need a new carrier. That will put you well over $200, espacilay if you go back with a limited slip.

Assuming that for around $200 you can somehow get a set of good, reliable gears, hands down go that way. It'll give you a LOT more bang for your buck. A tuner would def. help, but not as much as the gears imho.

the guys at the shop ive talked to said that the gears is all i would need and a install kit. so im assuming they know what they are talking about.
