Default Soo whats next?

Trying to decide what my next mods will be? so far I have (stock) LS1 block, LS2 heads, Texas Speed Torquer V2 232/234 .595"/.598" Camshaft, stock crankshaft, stock pistons. Auto trans is new and rebuilt and rated at 600HP with a stage 3 shift. Figured i would but a bigger torque converter in it about 3000-3200 stall. Also thinking of getting a stoker kit with forged crank and pistons.


open to any ideas!!

Are you driving on a stock stall?? If so get a stall you will see that its a different car as soon as you get on it. You could go a bunch of different directions. Have you done anthing to your suspension? If not there a bunch of things you can get for that. You could get some gears. A n2o kit is a place you can blow a lot of money at quick! What are your plans?

If you are running a stock stall then get that first.

If you are running all stock suspension then first id get a torque arm relocation trans mount and an adjustable torque arm, then adjustable LCAs and an adjustable panhard bar and some subframe connectors. After that comes sway bars and a lightweight k member and arms upfront.

As far as the engine id look at a FAST intake next, some larger injectors, higher flow rails, and a little spray.

I had a 3200-3500 stall before but it blew the stock trans it was a completely different car when i had it and im looking into another torque converter thinking 3000-3200 sence i have a beefier trans and sense its my everyday driver.

my initial plan was to get new pistons and crank sense sometimes it seems like im eating oil. i've got almost 150,000 miles on her.
