I am doing heads, cam, stall converter, torque arm, torque arm relocation kit, subframe connectors, tranny cooler and shift kit all this winter.
get a god converter (P.I. or Yank), and get the tranny built now when doing the converter and cooler (save money this way). DOnt mess with a shift kit, just get the tranny done right the first time...many people continually fuck around with tranny stuff and waste a lot of time and money. THEN DO A BOTTLE!!! 150 wet shot on you car would be FUN! Car looks good enough with the stance and wheels!

ADAM GROW SOME BALLS....YOUR CAR LOOKS FINE, DONT OPEN A THREAD TO ASK ASSHOLES WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR CAR!!!!!....DO WHAT YOU WANT DONT WORRY ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WILL THINK WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE...BUT I DO AGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE..SCREW THE STRIPES AND SATIN OR FLAT OT FLAT SATIN OR SATIN GLOSS OR GLOSS SATIN FLAT.....MAKE IT FAST...DONT BE THE COOLEST CAR 2 MILES BEHIND THE REST OF US...ie...TERRY02...
ps...with a 3800 stall?? you might wanna add a 12 bolt to the list...if you wanna even think about putting power to the ground...(snap)...or you can just roast tires all day long and never hook up...

Adam, before you order the converter, make sure you talk to Joe about what cam/heads your getting, and what rear gears you want to use, THEN call Yank and tell them the info. Make sure you get the right converter!!! I had good luck on motor with the PT4000 (pro thruster), it hit hard! Talk to them about the prothruster matched to your setup. DOn't worry about the rear end...my old car (GMMILLRIGHT's car) has the stock 10 bolt with 3.42 gears from Darrens car (SS1875), a stud kit, preload bearing support cover, and synthetic fluid...it has made NUMEROUS low 10 second runs with no problem. I would DEFINATELY get a good driveshaft though IMMEDIATELY. I saw a stock steel driveshaft snap on a 2000 Camaro on a highway kick and almost take out a 2002 Z06, not to mention potentially flip the Camaro (they both got lucky). You can get a used set of 3.42 gears for nealy free, I would do that with your converter/tranny install....
3.42 gearset, installed
stud kit for 10 bolt rear end
synthetic fluid
Preload bearing support cover for 10 bolt rear
this is what I did and it is still kicking with years of abuse (by abuse I don't mean going to the track once or twice per year, I mean running it from a dig 5 times a weekend all summer for a couple of years).
3.42 gears is great with the 4L60E tranny and a nasty converter...
you will have a very fast car when you do heads/cam/converter/headers...BUT NITROUS MAKES IT BETTER!!!!!!!!!
