Torque converter hands down the best mod. I would try doing both and then get a tune. You are going to need to get a trans tune when you do a converter so it's better to do both and then pay for 1 tune

You need some decent tires to really get the benefit of having a performance stall converter

With that big of a shot I would call and have a converter made for your setup.

I know with the SS 3600 you can spray a 150.

The problem with non dedicated nitrous converters is when you get into bigger shots you will push threw the converter, blow threw it, and bounce off the rev limiter.

ok so best bet is to call them tell them my plans and have them build a custom converter. That also makes me think of just getting the converter when I get the kit kinda makes more sense.
