I put a 3200 Vig stall in a street driven camaro and had huge trans cooler and for city driving that trans was always getting hot on me. We restalled it to 2600 and not only did it cool down but was way more fun driving around town. It would also flash up to 2900 when power braked. Vigilante convertors have one free stall change if you don't have it installed yet it might be worth changing it before installation. Just 2 cents.

Good Luck with your install!
You can see my mods i have done and will see they are very similar to others here with blowers,
Headers are definitley a great mod, do them!, Long Tube of course.
A 2600-2800 stall will be what you need, i reccomend giving Terry a call at Precision industries and he will build you a spec. converter that will be bulletproof.
You Will want an HD belt tensioner, Why risk breaking a standard one?
Pin the crank also to prevent belt slip.
I run a south florida 2.85 pulley, HD tensioner, and Crank pin kit and have no slip.
LeftCoast Joe is EXCELLENT to help you with mods , i would DEF. RECOMMEND talking to him!
Dont forget a Wideband gauge to monitor A/F ratio.

Ill agree with what others have said, I am also running a 2600-2800 stall and I like it. I wouldnt want it any higher. There is too much torque on tap to go with a higher stall. I also deal with Joe @ Leftcoast32 and he is a stand up guy. I would do a good blower cam, valve springs and pushrods. I would leave the heads alone unless you are going all out. Make sure you pin your crank, dont wait till the pulley spins on the crank snout. You will not lack low end with a TVS.

+1 on the 2600-2800 stall. Could you give more details about your truck? Infact if you will pm me your VIN I will tell you what gears your running too. What about the cam specs your planning to run? Do you have DOD or VVT and have you taken that into consideration for your cam swap?
