I just got off the phone. I called DriveTrain Direct and they have the FMS gears on special for $179 right now(cheapy's are $125, but they talked me into the FMS). For 2 pinion bearings and 1 pinion seal-$39. s/h-$17.
Steeda has the speedo gear for $16.
Then I called the 3 local transmissions shops and this is what they quoted me for the install:
1st- approx. $150
2nd- aprrox. $225
3rd- doesn't install other peoples products(because of problems in the past, yeah right!), because they want to over charge you for them, I bet.
I think I'll go with that $150 install, it sounds good.

So the total for parts is-$250
install-$150
For a grand total of around $400.

I think I've done enough research to conclude that these are the best prices I'm gonna get, so hopefully in a couple weeks I'll be adding "FMS 3.73's" to my MWorks signature.

Thanks for the input, guys!
