What I need to do first?
So I have a 99 SS with LT headers, custom 3 in. y-pipe no cat, cat back high performance magnaflow ss with 3.5 in. duals. Volant Air intake, slp smooth bellow, and a Pro Form short throw shifter and other visual mods. I have to have the ECU remapped due to no cats and I was going to replace the spark plugs and wires before I have the tune done. But my rear end needs rebuilt as well so im am having them install 3:90 gears. Should I get the rear end rebuilt first then do the tune?

i wouldn't rebuild a stock rear ever... they are very weak and especially with lower than stock gears...
save your self the money you'd spend in rebuilds and buy a good 12 bolt or 9"...

I agree, if you intend to keep the car, put a Moser 9" in it. The $2600 to 2800 cost will pay for itself in the long run.

i guess it all depends on what future mods are being thrown into the car. Should be ok for now but with more hp's then your flirtin with disaster...

matter of opinion i guess. I realize they arent that strong. Lots of people have pushed good #'s with a stock ten bolt. Its the sticky tires that are hard on them, IMO. I keep my fingers and toes crossed when driving hard tho
