Default What should be my next mod?

Should I upgrade to the TCIssf3500 I have sitting in my garage (currently have a 2800)

-OR-

should I install the 3.42s in place of my 273s??

Any input welcome!

Other than whats listed, the only mods are cutout and MAC headers/ory pipe

This doesn't help you at all(sorry) but what kind of difference did you notice moving up to that 2800 from stock?

BOTH... Swap to the bigger converter and the 3.42's. That would be a nice gain!

And the 2800 converter he now his is ALOT better than the stocker. I know a guy running a 2800 and it picked the car up 4-5 tenths..

If you have the 3500 sitting in the garage just put it in. Not much expense there, $20 for fluid and $20 for a new filter. Even better dump the 3:42
s and pick up some 3:73's, you can get a set under $100, about $150 to install them. But somehow, you gotta get rid of those 2:73 gears
