If u do the converter with those gears it will feel very oose from a stop it would really benefit you to do gears with the stall. I just swapped up to 3.42's and was worried abt the mpg but it wasnt bad at all in town its the same or maybe even a little bit better and on the hwy i may have lost 1-2mpg

you will need some good low end torque.a tr224 cam ,or a comp cam truck cam 54-455-11.get a ls6 intake.you can beef up your stock lower control arms (lca) with some tubing or flat steel .I like a adjustable torque arm for tuning the suspension.

On the other hand, a 3.42 will make the converter feel tighter, if you're the sort of person that's bothered by that. Frankly, I could drive around with a 3500 stall and 2.73s forever and not be bothered. Everyone is different though.
Agreed.

My old 2002 Z28 went 11.7xs all day with a F13 cam, TCI 3K stall(it was garbage) and 2.73s on Nitto drag radials. It was still full weight minus spare tire/jack

The fastest my car has gone is 12.68 @ 109 (1.86 60 ft) with 2.73s and a Yank 2800 stall, which is almost like not having an aftermarket stall. It was super tight. Best 60 ft I got with that combo was 1.84. With 2.73s and a stock converter I ran 12.79 @ 109.95, 1.98 60 ft.
