Best advice you will ever get from anyone:

1. You get what you pay for.
2. Always go with what is known to work well unless you have unlimited cash to throw around.

I did the converter first then the headers. 3500 to 4000 is sweet on the street. I wouldn't go below a 3500.

I've heard from alot of people to go with atleast a 3500 stall...Below that and it feels kinda close to stock...Or not as big an improvement as a bigger stall would be. I'm personally going with a 4000 stall with my th350.

Get a big tranny cooler, and maybe a deep pan...It will really help out in keeping that trans alive.

A decent street/strip converter will knock .5 seconds off your 1/4th mile times on average. Headers are good for maybe .1 second.
Looks like a no brainer to me. I suggest a 3200 to 3500 stall for 99% street use.
