It is less hassle to tune for the efans so I would do those after the tune. TB spacers are worthless and don't do anything on these engines. Depending on what gears you have, get you some gears and a locker. Of course you will have to get the tune calibrated for those...

22s you might want some 4.10 gears!! It should be running good. Make sure he does a street tune!!
