From my research Yank seems to be the most preffered but it comes at a cost. Fuddle seems to be the most bang for the buck at the moment. From what Ive read I wouldnt go TCI and I for sure wouldnt go BM but that doesnt make them bad just my opinion from the tons of searches and research Ive done.

I put a Vigi 3200 in mine, you could tell a difference for the better, that car pulled really hard after that even with the stock manifolds. Around town regular driving it felt like a normal LT1 till you got on it and it screamed. Stall is an awesome mod for an auto car

Verdad Gallardo I'd go with a converter first...I have had a Vig in my car since 1996 and it was without a doubt the best single mod I did...I've never seen .6 reduction with LTs and an ORY...thats not to say it doesn't happen, I just have never seen that huge a reduction...
The converter will soften the shifts a bit, so most also spring for a shift kit while they have the trans out for the converter install. Its also a good time to build the trans while you are there if you have high mileage, any slippage, etc..Itd be a shame to run crappy burnt fluid and clutch material thru your new converter...just my .02...I have also heard good stuff about Fuddle, but they weren't around when I got mine...
Then start saving for Kooks LTs and ORY.....

I am speaking in terms of power gain big difference. a stall can definetalty shift your powerband around and with a stock internal car u wont feel a big difference.... In terms of long tubes it will wake up the car since the manifolds are proven to be very restrictive. Ask anyone here who went to long tube and see if there is a difference.

45x rwhp is not that impressive considering some of the cars on this forum.

And just because you are faster does not mean you know more.
Hell I could pay a shop $20,000 to make my car fast.

I would go with LT/ORY/cutout since you already have a catback.
A stall would be nice (my next mod) but from what I've seen on street tires it turns into a smoke machine. Another good reason to wait on a stall is if you plan to put a cam in your car so you can pick out a stall that matches it.
