get a built tranny. you can get a tranny/stall combo from a sponsor for ~$2,000. then you'll get your stall, shift kit and a tranny that'll stand up to a lot of abuse. simply slap on a cooler and you're good to go. it's a little more money than you have, but it's a lot less headache in the long run.

my vote goes to a converter....dont be scared of a big stall.....i had a 3200 and i thought it was ok....then drove my buddies car with a 4400....not much different in terms of daily driving abilities.....but get on the gas a n wow....few months later i installed a 4000 and never looked back
next you will definitly need tires...
then i would throw a shift kit on.

dont put a shift kit on though...yes i agree that shift kits make the car shift harder, but it actually freezes the transmission up for just a split second and actually SLOWS your car down

How's about a 250 shot from someone like TNT?
Just kidding. A good quality shift kit is a solid investment. Keep in mind though it can give you a false sense of security. If your trans feels better after the install, you might begin to lean on it harder and more frequently and that could lead to a tranny failure.
