So if I have a UCA do I need LCAs? Any ideas?

Hopefully the UCA is all I need. I have an email in to Denny's, whos making the driveshaft, about the UCA. I ordered a double adjustable one from Piedmont Modular Mustang Performance anyway just in case.

Bob, got the gears at CJPonyparts.com for 219 with an additioanl 18 for shipping. They are the actual FRPP gears and not Motive FRPP gears. I did not order the install kit because EVERYTHING I have read on all the forums says to let the installer use his own stuff so he is responsible for any problems.

Bob- As for the h-pipe I am waiting at least another month. With the cost of the 410 gear install I need to save a few more bucks to buy the h-pipe. When I order I will do so through Brenspeed since a new tune will be required and he will do one for free if the part comes from him.

Nooooo Jeff, I just got Todd at Brenspeed to go along with the pipes shipped to our doors for $ 170.00
One condition, must buy three ????

Jeff wrote:Good price, but from what I have read all over these and other forums leave the install kit stuff to the installer so in case something goes wrong the installer can't say you gave them bad stuff. It protects you from the installer trying to back out of problems.
Well if your installer was a ford mechanic doing work on ford time or a mechanic at a shop doing the work again on company time I would agree. But if you intend to be able to go back and get the installer to fix a problem if he is doing the install on his time for under the table money you better think again. If we use the guy at Hurley (correct me if i'm wrong) he will be doing this for "extra money" on his own time. So the way I figure it he more than likely wont warranty his work and even if he says he will good luck trying to get him to fix somthing. You just have to trust in his abilities as a good mechanic.

Bob if we have to do a group price I'm in. Like Jeff, I was going to order from him anyway so that I could have my tunes reworked.

That is where you would be wrong. Legally, any work that is done must be warrantied by someone who performs it. Trust me, I know from first hand experience. Even if he does it on his time, he has to warranty his work that he does. We have legal recourse for work that is not up to snuff.
As to the install kit, I'll call him and see if he wants it or not. I'd rather have him use his stuff. I think he is going to be doing it at Hurley anyway and they are Ford Racing parts so they might be warrantied by Ford if it is done at the dealership, even though it is off the clock. This guy is supposed to be the gear guru and has the top mechanic certification that a mechanic can have.

Yes the install has a lot of parts. However, one of the benifits is that it moves all that weight from the turbo setup to the rear of the car giving better overall balance. Pretty cool...

As soon as Todd of Brenspeed finalizes everything on the Pypes I will let you know,
I have with my automatic decided to go with the 15.73 gears, the thought of doing a wheelie from stop light to stop light just won me over.

Why are you guys sending your tuners back ? With the gears and pipes all that needs to be done is change to correct the speedometer and turn off the 02 sensors, right ? If so why can't we do that ourselves ?

Bob's right! Just go into setting and change the gear ratios. I should not require a new tune! Plus why are you sending them in for anything. Mr. Doug just sends me a new file in which I download. No fedex, no UPS, no fuss.
