So which is it?

I totally agree. People dont realize this. They are all in a hurry to run out and do gears. I would concentrate on making power and do gears as your last mod. If you just make the power you dont need gears. When you 1200+ hp vipers running 273's there is a reason. The more power you make the less gear you want for a street car. Otherwise it just leads to roasting tires

That's true...but the OP is talking about spending $3K..Have any idea how much $$ it takes to hit 1200 HP???..an INSANE amount (to me anyway)...For $3K youre simply NOT going to be able to buy much horsepower...Thus GEARS is the best bang for the buck
