Nitrous with Shorty headers? ... or LT's????
One more thing ... The shorties gave me a little more 'go' over the restricitve manifolds on the 98/99 cars. They probably would have made very little difference, IF any, on the 00/01/02 F-body's.

I second that converter. A converter will give you the best all round gains as you will feel it on the road as well as the track 100% of the time.
Better streetability as well as lower ETs and hogher MPH all in one. Dont think any of the other options will give you all that in abundance.

Need I mention that your engine wont be producing any more horsepower, but rather you will be riding the tranny more so than before to deliver more HP to the ground per MPH. You will be limited by traction, and if your tyres wont hold, wheelspin wont break the rear-end.

Pacesetters are on special for 379.99 coated

That leave about 500 for a 3500 tci stall converter!!
They sell for $515!!!
Thats what I would be doing if your wanting to stay n/a

You can always get a nitrous kit later! Check out the parts for sale section. There is always someone selling a kit for cheap. Or look into Dyno Tune's stuff (sponsor) They have some great prices on N2O stuff.Just my .02

3000 Stall? I found a new TCI SuperStreetFighter 3000 online for $439.00 on sale. Is this enough for street driving or will my sig below handle a 3500 without having to scream to pull out from a dead stop?
Is there anyone who thinks LT's would be a better option?

With a 3:23 it would be a bit looser but with 3:73, it acts like a stock TC until you floor it that is
As far as breaking the tires loose, I solved that with a set of 285/18's at the rear.
