Ok I have a stock lt1 (minus cai) Im going to spend part of my income tax on a new tranny. I have been doing A LOT of reading and I am going to go with the level 2 b/c this next year (i hope will be better) I plan on doing an LE2 topend kit with a stock crank forged rod,piston short block, i want to get a good tranny and stall for whats to come. Ok my question is.. What size stall should i get. Im going to run the stock 10 bolt (I know

) with some et streets and a 3.42 gear. Im going to buy there conveter so i can get the awsome 2 year W

Is the billet cover worth the 200$?
Will the regular 9.5" be fine?

Sorry for the long post I just like to know im getting the right stuff before i spend a lot of money (b/c im broke)

Edit: The car gets driven everyday about 10 min to work. I have a company truck but i love my t/a !!

If you ever plan on spraying it the billet is probably a good idea. You can't go wrong with a 3600, mines drives near-stock

Go with the billet converter. i vote around about 3600 stall speed. I believe our trans and converter sponsors are top notch. They will take care of you I'm sure.
