Default Need some quick advice

Well I have had two mods in the back of my head for the longest time so im gonna go and get them out of the way. Now, my question is which one will benefit me most for now, and or later.

I wanted to get rid of the stock throttle body and get a real nice 90mm along with a nice ls6 intake mani (i will also be having them polished chrome) OR go ahead and get a Vigilante Stall Converter (haven't decided what size yet, i was thinking around 2800-3000. i want it to match what the cars got in store for it. they say if i go to low i might regret it.

So far the cars got all the bolt ons, rebuilt trans, fully decked out race suspension and the future mods will consist of a beefy cam/heads, a new rear 12 bolt and who else knows what.

which ever mod i do i will be getting a full tune no matter what cause the car hasn't been tuned since last year. Just what will make the most out of what I am paying for even tho money isn't really a problem and what will have the most improvments on the street and at the strip. Either way i will be doin BOTH but it will be bout a good couple months difference. Thanks for all the help guys!!!!

I would do a stall before you do other power adders.

Agreed. A stall wakes the car up so much.

Yeah, that would definitely be an added benefit early on. Your other mods will just feed off of it if stalled accordingly to what you plan on doing.
