I got the gear set from MFactory, rebuild kit from Weir, and some seals and shims from the dealer.

I see people spending so much money on different exhausts and intakes chasing 2 more hp. Honestly if you are staying NA go with a 4.56 or 4.67 and it will be money way way better spent.
Deep down inside mrk you know the answer to why they do that...

It's much easier to buy those items knowing the install won't muck something up. Even something as trivial to us as dropping a pumpkin, dropping a new gearset in, preparing and adjusting the gearset to work properly throughout its operational life, et al is the main reason why people swap exhausts, intakes, and other 'simpler' bolt ons

paradoxically, a crappy intake could blow up the motor anyway so it's a bit of a crapshoot innit

cool stuff, glad to see a 4.44! Unabomber over at nasioc would love you to death just knowing you chose that FD
