rebuilt trans...what do you think so im gonna get a rebuilt trans..it has 1 yr warranty for about 1300 installed. it has a rebuilt dacco converter(1800) how would a 2400-2800 dacco stall work on this performance and gas wise? let me know if you've used a stall around this range and what it did for you? thanks guys

Dacco is not known for reliability. Not knowing your engine combination it is very hard to say whether the stall is right for you.
$1300.00 is not going to produce a high quality transmission that will take alot of Horsepower nor abuse. That is a bottom basement price for a stock rebuild, most likely from a shop who does not build high performance 4L60E's every day.
Good Luck.

set up is as follows: pacesetter lts w/jet hot coating, pacesetter ory, slp lm1, msd wires, slp lid, k&n, slp bellow, throttle spacer, stb. thats about it . car is not set up for racing but i want it to have the power doesnt make sense but yeah. my cousin is going to take out the old tranny and put the new one in for about 150. thats why its kinda cheap.

No... your cousin installing it is not the reason why it is cheap. That is a good deal for an R&R however.
The reason it is a good deal is that the company you are buying it from is not installing the parts that will ensure that it is going to survive in a performance application.... you have to ask yourself this. Are you going to leave your engine performance level where it is at currently? If you are 1/2 the enthusiast the rest of this crowd is you will not leave the power level where it is at. And that is why the inexpensive transmission will not survive.
Not knocking the guys that built it all. Just want to make sure you go into it with your eyes open!
