Default LT1 Tranny Swap Questions

Currently I have a T56 in my 95 Camaro. The plan is to do a 4L60e swap in the next couple of months. The major plans are as follows :

Performabuilt Stage 2 or CPT 4L60E Tranny
Higher than stock Stall
All stock conversion pieces including A4 wiring harness (Which I am still looking for)
PCMForLess Reflash of PCM
TCI Flexplate
ARP Hardware
ETC...

I am starting to purchase the parts that I will need little by little to make the swap as easy as possible when it comes time. I have a couple questions that I hope you guys can help me with.

I am placing an order with Summit today for the first couple of parts for the tranny swap and the rest of the parts for my rocker/spring upgrade. Do I have these part numbers correct?
TCI Flexplate PN# 399173
ARP Flexplate Bolts PN#200-2902

What size and part number do I need for the ARP Torque Converter Bolts?
With some modification, which aftermarket shifter will work with the 4L60E?
What size stall would you guys recommend for a daily driven bolt on Z and and the rare 100 shot?

Thanks for any and all help.

I was thinking about going with a 3000-3200 stall. The only thing I am scared of is I always hear people wishing that they would have went bigger from the beginning.

Can anybody help me out with these part numbers? I am looking to place the order as soon as I get answers here.

I was hoping you would stop in here. Can you help me verify any of these part numbers listed above?

Wouldn't a 3500-3600 be too big for just a bolt on Daily Driver? I hope not because I keep hearing about how good the SS3600 Yank converters are.

I am also trying to decide between your company and CPT. The two major things that draw me to CPT is the hardened 4L65E shaft and 4L65E front support. Does your rebuild include either of these two items? Also, do you offer the Front/Rear 5 Pinion Planetaries?

The two reasons I am drawn away from CPT is that they charge for shipping and core charges. I don't have a core since I currently own a T56, and I don't want to have and deal with shipping out a tranny or high shipping prices back.

Any info you can give me would be appreciated.

Hi I cant reallyhelp you with those part numbers as we dont deal with any of those companies. We do offer five pinion planets and hardened input shaft in our level 3, But not in our levels 1 and 2. Beware of people offering you 5 pinion planets for like 100 each they are likley aftermarket and not OEM and the aftermarket versions are not as strong as the OEM 4 pinion planets.
We do not offer the hardened output shaft as we havent found this to be and issue as far as breaking. Now on the matter of the 4l65e front support I am not really sure about that or what hes referring to , W do use the 4l65e rear support and rollr clutch assembly , But the only thing supporting the front would be the pump stator and that wont interchange from a 4l65e its to long on the converter side, So not sure there unless he actually means something else with a different name.
As as you said we have no core charge. 1 year warranty and shipping is included in the price and typically we ship within a couple days of the order. We also presently include a 22000 gvw cooler and switching from a manual that would be handy Im sure. along with detailed complete installation instuctions which dont hurt either, Let me know if you need something call .post or PM me anytime.
Thanks

Is there any reason why this flexplate would not work on my 95 LT1?
