what do you have done to the car? If its only mild I would leave it because the gains would be small for the cost output. Paul Meister from steeda can help you out.

Some would say wait til you do mods.
I got a chip when i did my gear swap,this way it saved me money down the road instead of getting a speed cal then spending more money later for a chip that does the same thing for the gear/speedo recal.
I went with a SCT and had it tuned only for what i had at the time which was an h pipe,K&N,3.73's,and ported stock upper plenum,that is it,and i noticed a huge difference on how the stang reacted in character.Even in the 1/4 mile it showed the improvements.Went from 14.4 with a 103 mph consistently to 14.0's with a 105 mph on street tires consistently .Then i pulled the chip out when i was going to get the VT stage II cams put in,and the stang felt like a pile of **** to drive,i could really notice the difference.
So basically yeah it is worth it.I believe so anyways.Then when you start modding more,you can always get it retuned. :thumb1:

No you will need to get the gear that goes in the Transmission.
