Default what next?

All right I'm trying to make my 94 ta a hot street , solid strip car I've got pacesetter longtubes, richmond 3.73's, k&n cai, flowmaster catback, and an underdrive pulley. Looking to get a higher stall converter soon, not sure what one yet and then a cam and some head and intake work, anyone have any ideas on the next step I should take?

A drag radial and a GOOD stall. If u dont get a good one now u'll pay later. And remember to match the stall to wat ur planning on doing not want u currently have. No need to spend a ton of money on a converter twice

Definitely. Depending on how hot you want to make it here are some options.
Basic- off the shelf cam (gm847, cc306, etc) and basic porting, 3000 stall, and stickies mid 12's depending on 60'.

Intermediate- Lloyd Elliot LE2 or LE 3 package. Matched stall, sticky tire, weight reduction.....12 flat to mid elevens based on driver...60' etc.

Hot Street (sizzle)- SBC 2.2 heads converted for reverse flow by LME or similiar, solid roller cam custom built by crower or comp cams etc, 3500+ stall, sticky tires, weight reduction, hogged out LT4 or Edelbrock Victor Intake manifold setup for fuel injection. 11.0's- low tens depending on how aggressive setup/tune is.

Add 150 shot of N20 to this and expect .5-1.0 sec et reduction. Remember any of these combos will need a tune to perform well along with a shift kit, tranny cooler. A 12 bolt or 9 inch is in the near future along with a heavy duty tranny rebuild/ TH400 with a trans brake.

I was thinking possibly going with one of loyd eliots packages or getting some afr's and having them worked and getting the cc306 what do you think?

I'd say that if ur going to go with some decent AFR's youo should just spend the few extra bucks and go custom cam. You can get exactly wat you want from the combo then plus you'll make more power

Yep...or comp cams will grind u one and so will crower. If your gonna do that...I would just do a Lloyd Elliot package. No guess work there...just dyno/track proven performance. Plus he can tweak the cam specs for your preferences. LE3 would be sweet on any LT1 IMHO.
