Another next mod thread I have a 98 trans am with full bolt-ons minus LT headers and a little nitrous. I am having trouble deciding what my next mod should be. I am kicking around the idea of either LT headers or a stall, something around a 3600/3800. I have a B & M tranny cooler to help with the stall. What are your thoughts? I am in college and it is really hard to mod so this is my one mod this year, thanks for the input everyone!

A good stall will make it more fun to drive and will net you more time off of your e.t. . Headers will give you @20-25 RWHP and knock off .2-.3 tenths in the 1/4 .
A 3600 -3800 stall will add no hp but will knock off at least .5 tenths in the 1/4 .( traction permitting
) It will also get rid of most of the dead spots and put you into (and keep you in) your peak power with a higher shift extension .
Dollar for dollar ,a high stall converter is your biggest bang for your buck ,besides a power adder (N2O, supercharger or turbo )

I already have the Nitrous, but no suspension or rear end to get it out of the hole so I don't really know if a stall would really help me. I also still have the stock 2.73's 
3600 stall and drag radials . Your an auto with 273's . I dont think youll break anything .That pinion is HUGE !! LOL !
How about gears? Those 2.73's suck...I should know, I have them too. Try and find a rear out of a M6 car, you get 3.42's that way and it's an easy swap.
I say stall, in my old A4, i had a yank 3200 (which is kinda small stall) and it still knocked .5 seconds off my track time. completely stock motor with shorty headers (waste of money) I ran a 12.9.
I added a wet 100 shot and ran 11.7
I say stall it!
