Default Curious which stage to pick

Im about to have a Transgo installed next week, and im not to sure which "stage" of performance to go with. I think i wanna go all out and do level 3, as the kit comes with the hardware to support it, but is there anything i need to know about it? Its a stock, un-abused 4L60E trannsmission with 53k on it. I just dont want to do stage 3 and have it blow the trans. Either that or stage 2 at least.

Has anyone ever felt the difference between all the stages? Also, i dont plan on doing any kind of a stall or anything like that....no gear swaps or anything along those lines.

Which torque converter are you going to use? What is the rear end gear ratio? Let me know some details and I will tell you how to customize the kit to fit your application. Let me know?

Probuilt I just bought the shift kit from you. I am going to go with vigilante 3200 stall, the gears are stock 2002 trans am not sure the ratio though. I want it to shift nice and hard but not too harsh that it breaks stuff. My engine combo will be making about 500HP. Thank you.
