You are gonna want to go with the Trans-Go shift kit. They make the best kit by far for the 4L60E. As far as better times in the 1/4 you will not see much of a gain with just a shift kit and gears.You would actually be better off with a 3500 rpm stall converter and the shift kit then you will be with gears.With the converter and shift kit combo your looking at around .5 seconds of your 1/4. With gears and shift kit you might see .2 off your 1/4 time.

this is also a street car so could you combind the 3500 stall (would that be streetable) shift kit and the gear to gain the most.

yes if you have the money and want the gear go for it. I ran my car with that combo for 5 years 19 miles each way back and forth to work everyday.3500 stall is very streetable in these cars.

Stock cam will work fine. Just get an auxiliary tranny cooler when you do the converter and you'll be fine.
