Cheap Speed
Lid, P&P TB, stall, full exhaust, LS6 intake, LCA's, SFC's, Shocks, then 12bolt...that's the order i'd go in if i had an automagic, then of course if u wanted to go further nitrous, heads & cam package would be bitchin

But honestly, i got used to it the first day i drove it and now when i drive a stock auto, i hate it...absolutely hate it. When you put your foot to the floor with a high stall....HOLY ****!! launches like a bat outta hell. And as far as the rear, you have an auto which is a hell of a lot easier on rear diffs then 6 spds. I have stickey mickey drag radials and once in awhile out on the street i will get a dead hook...lemme tell you what, it feels like the ******* car is gonna pull a wheelie. Dont be worried about breaking your rear, dont let that be the reason why you dont get a stall.

Get..........a.............converter.............n ow!
Absolute minimum stall speed of 3,000. My personal recommendation is 3500 rpm minimum. It is the single biggest bang for your buck you will find. I don't count nitrous, per say, because it is only available for a relatively short period of time and 99% of your driving it'll do nothing but sit there.
Do some searching in the automatic transmission section to learn about converters.
What you should look into buying: Vigilante or Yank converter with stall speed of 3k-4k, B&M 24k gvwr trans cooler, tranny temp gauge, Trans go shift kit, subframe connectors and Nitto NT555-R drag radials (if it's a street car). You may or may not need 'basic' tuning of the shift points or torque management for it to run correctly.
It gets expensive quickly. All of those things could easily run $1,500-$2,000 or even more if you pay somebody to install them, depnding on what particular parts you choose.

The coolers are normally routed in line with the fluid that goes through the raditator, after the radiator and before going back to the transmission.

Just a quick little thing, more bang for the buck is great. Just remember, there are some serious weak points in your driveline that need atleast a little work (rearend package from Texas Speed should do nicely, don't forget the carrier). Also, no matter what, you need to put that power to the ground, not your tranny. SFC's LCA's and a new torque arm with relocation kit should be lined up for the near future. Just my .02

<-------- Whole new transmission and new to me rear end here.
1.64 60's will do that, I guess.
