Anyway to get more power? Just wondering if there’s anyway to get a little Moreno power out of my LS1? So far the mods are a mild cam, LS6 intake, 1 3/4 headers, PRC 2.5 862 heads, MSD spark plug wires, upgraded injectors. Just trying to see if I can squeeze anymore power out of my car? I don’t want to go forced induction trying to stay N/A. I was thinking about getting a true dual system and ditching the Y pipe. I was also thinking about getting a FAST 92 intake and throttle body. If you have anymore opinions on what I could do please feel free to give me some suggestions!

A4. Couldn’t get a bigger cam because of the stock stall. Thinking about getting a 3600 stall, FAST 92/92 and true duals. But I love the way my Trans is at the moment. Shifts firm and no sign of age really. Just kinda been scared to do stuff to the trans because it would be awhile before I get a built one of if blow the stock one.

A converter is not going to be any harder on your transmission.
I would not do a thing until you add a converter. Adding something like a yank ss 3600 to your current setup will feel like you added literally 100 whp due to MUCH better shift extensions.

Absolutely, I rebuild my own transmission and run the sonnax performance pack but either will benefit you.
Also think about adding the sonnax 2-3 shift valve. It keeps the over run clutches on when the shifter is in D3.
This helps support the forward sprag assembly and allows more stable fluid pressure to the 3-4 clutch pack.

like mentioned above as well as possibly an underdrive pulley to squeeze out some hp and an electric waterpump. if you're planning on racing it then do an a/c delete, suspension mods and weight reduction to get the max effort on the power to weight ratio.
either a 3600 or 3800. I had a 3200 in my firebird and I felt it still wasn't enough. I got a 3600 in my Camaro now and it feels/pulls pretty good. wont know if this converter I bought from another local member will be worth it or not til I take it to the track.
The stall will give the most for the money at this point.
Since you already have a decent cam and heads, if you want to do something for the motor get a better intake ( a FAST), it's getting fairly choked by that LS6 now.
And make sure the exhaust is good as can be. A single 3" can do the trick if you have a great merge. The dual 3" to single 4" with a cutout is a hell of an exhaust setup to for low $$. Or go to a true dual.

I'd recommend a Yank SS3600, or a circle D stall.
Oh if you don't have drag radials you're gonna need them bad once you get a stall.

Don't cheap out on the stall, the cheaper ones are less efficient, which means less power making it to the tires and more being wasted and also creating more heat in the fluid.

From what I remember a SS series Yank converter would be better than the PT for your usage then. A SS3600 is plenty of converter. The PT4000 would likely annoy you if you do a lot of street driving.
