Do you have a tuner with the cold air intake?

Easiest thing you can do is get a tune. https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j...45921128,d.cGE

And with the tuner you can calibrate the Speedo when you do Gears. :) :tup

are there different tuners? what is the best one to get? someone also told me to chip it???? i know nothing lol

rk122075 04-30-2013 02:15 PM

Chip and tuner is for argument sake the same thing. A hand held tuner will also act as a code reader. My personal opinion is to go with SCT. VERY user friendly and you can do a bunch of stuff with it. Burning chips ae more for the older NON OBD2 cars like fox bodies and 94-95 etc. AmericanMuscle.com is a good place to order online. I don't think CMOC has a Discount code but if you ask around here I'm sure someone can give you a code to save a couple bucks as well. :)

Gears are not a do it yourself type job unless you really know what you are doing. There is measuring, shimming, and you need to make sure you have a correct pattern.

Leave gears to the professionals.

Get a tune, intake and exhaust, axle backs are pretty easy to install yourself. Do those first then throw in some gears to top it off. It'll be a whole different machine.

rk122075 05-01-2013 09:53 AM

Gears are something that should be done professional. You won't be dissapointed in the seat of the pants difference!!!! :) I had 4.10s in my 2002 GT and wish I went 4.30s. I may have some screws loose though... My current 1994 S-Trim 5.0L has 3.73s being put in it.

I could be wrong but I think the 07 GT had 3.55 stock with a stick and 3.31 with auto...?

I think you're right unless it had the 3.73 option from the factory. If that was even available in 07.

how do i find out whats in it?

There might be a tag on the rear diff or look at the door jamb sticker and see if it has one of these codes on it for the axle.


BG — 3.31 — non-limited slip, base vehicle with manual or automatic transmission

CD — 3.55 — limited slip, GT with manual transmission

CG — 3.31 — limited slip, GT with automatic transmission
