Why is it you want to keep your 2,600 stall, I am sure that is not optimal for that setup either. You just don't go and slap stalls and gears on a vehicle and hope they all work out.

You could always beef up your transmission or rear end so it is less prone to breaking.

As for the converter i'm leavin it how it is for now for now due to the stock rear and trans.
Well then possibly your next mod should be a beefed up trans or rear. What times are you running? Glad to see you took notice to your cars setup before installing gears. I can't stand people who slap on a bunch of parts without research then wonder why their car sucks.

Understandable, that is my stance on alot of parts. Once I break it, then I will replace it with something better. Pullies don't give you that much of a gain, some have noted a few rwhp. I doubt enough to notice, or possibly give you .01 or something like that. Not worth the 100$ in my mind. Migh as well save that for your rear or transmission fund. Have you tried any weight reduction? Or lightweight parts? That is also something you could look into.
