Default 1998 Trans Am

Hello, I have a 1998 trans am. So far all it has done is an SLP ram air intake, a cat back exhaust system and a tune done by a hand held tuner. I have about 1500 to spend right now what would be the best bang for my buck to add to what I have.

Thanks,
William

I Might Be Wrong But I Think The Stall Helps You Launch At Higher RPM's

Nope, you got it. I don't know what the going rate on them are, but these seemed t be priced lower than what I have seen on other sites. And I am sure that people on here are selling them for less, but if you like new stuff you can check out what size stall converter you want.

Same Place I Checked For Prices... Haha
The Prices Seem Decent For New TC's It All Depends On How Fast You Want To Launch And How Much Money You Want For Other Mods

And how drive-able you want the car to be. Is this a daily driver? On an a4 I would say headers, motormounts, and 3.73 gears.

A stall should be hands down the number 1 mod. It will give you more gain than anything else you can do short of nitrous or forced induction. The Yank SS3600 would be an excellent choice, some like the SS4000. You will barely notice its there daily driving, but it lets the engine rev high quicker once you give it heavy throttle.

Long tube headers next followed by a ls6 intake manifold. If you do both of those a real dyno tune would be recommended.
