I agree about the trans, that is the weakest link in your drivetrain. 4L80E is your best bet IMO.

Damn David, If you can get all that for 2K, I'll make a special trip up there this weekend and we'll go shopping!
If you can cancel the deal for 6K for the turbo and install, do it. There is a guy on here selling an STS with upgraded turbo, he may even include the intercooler, for 3K. You can do the install yourself. Youve now got 5K. Now see above post and maybe even get an eaton and gears!!

As far as your extra $2k, I would do a stall, valve springs, fuel upgrades, and maybe the 67 instead of the 60-1.
