Go 3.42. Will be much better throttle response with that stall.

You say you talked to transmission companies. What do you mean by this? Local shops like Aamco? If so don't listen to them. Talk to a performance transmission shop that has experience with building transmissions for Camaros to handle power. Most of your local trans shops know very little if anything about making a performance grade transmission.

A couple of stories to prove my point:
My first car, an '87 IROC, had the transmission rebuilt by Aamco. That lasted 6months!!!
I talked to a local trans shop to rebuild my '93 tranny. He didn't even know the type of tranny I had. Don't go to a shop if they haven't worked on your exact type of transmission before.
My Yank rocks as does the trans rebiuild by a VERY reputable trans shop (3 years running now). I had a previous rebuild by a local shop that lasted all of 3,200 miles!!!
The moral of this story is don't chince out on the transmission...it will come back to bite you in the ***.
