Default will this sts set up work?

i just wanna run low boost for now (6psi) i have the l60e tranny getting servos for it and a shift kit and rear end. with that set up can i run a 2600 stall converter? or do i need to do n e thing else? and what exactly does a shift kit do and which one should i get. will that tranny set up hold? After
my plans r to get injectors, pump and i/c and boost more its just the truck is my dd i need some tips

The stall will help you get off the line faster and spool the turbo sooner. Shift kits generally increase the "line pressure" of the valve body which translates to firmer and quicker shifts. They also can alter the shift points if desired but a programmer is better for that IMHO.
Transgo makes good products, so does B&M.
As far as the 60E lifespan, the servos and shift kit are great starts. Turbos tend to be easier on trannies than superchargers. Once you get around or over the 10psi mark don't be too disappointed when ( not if ) the tranny craps out.

I would do the fuel upgrades first. I'd rather it be just a little slower but safe instead of a little faster and right on the edge.

At least do the injectors, without the injectors you are not going to have enough fuel. 6psi will still blow an engine if not fueled properly.

???? I cannot believe that the stock injectors are supporting that HP, I am not denying what you are saying it just baffles me. I would worry about pushing them that hard but..... Anyones wanna chime in?

Billy knows what he is talking about, and brings up a valid point. If they are supporting that HP somehow then it has to be on the edge. I am not trying to convince you to spend money here just saying be carefull...

dammm what injectors do u guys recommend? when it was getting dynoed the first run what 354 to the wheel but they got spark blow out plugs were to hot 2nd run waz bout 345 a lil safer they said runnin good in high rpm but mid was a lil lean. the 379 waz my previous motor lol i bet u guys know what happin there. right now its about 345 to the wheel is that a lil better for the stock injectors? if i do get the 44lb injectors will i need a pump also and re tune?
