Default What next?

I will hopefully be getting a Transgo kit with the Vette servos sometime soon. I will probably have about $200-$300 more to spend on top of that. What would be the best bang for my buck in that price range? Current mods in sig.

You're like me...starting to run out of "cheap" mods. You could get a set of pullies. Another option would be to save a little more and get a TCI 3000 stall. You can get it for a little over $400. I've also seen a few nitrous kits go for around $350 or so. Thorley headers go for a little over $400. Just save up a little more and you can come out with a nice increase in hp.

i just put a trans go kit in an 04 silverado ss, and its a beautiful thing. the 1-2 shift is great, but i would be willing to bet that you might not be too impressed with the 2-3 shift, but its still alot more precise than it was. as far as your next mod goes, full length headers would be awesome, or maybe even step up to the bigger throttle body....or you could keep collecting change from in between the couch coushins, and when you have enough, just get the sts turbo kit!

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated. Yes I am running out of small mods. Hopefully I can get the STS in the next year or so, I do want to get one sometime if I can afford it. I was thinking pulleys, headers, or a converter most likely. Which of these would be most likely to give the best increases?

Get a Trail blazer stall and install the Transgo s/k at the same time. That way you're tranny is complete.

Thats kinda what I was thinking, I guess great minds think alike. I don't think I would go with anything higher than a Trailblazer converter because of traction problems with my tires and because its a daily driver. I might have to wait a little longer to have money for both, but I think it will be worth it to get them installed at the same time, might even save a little on labor. Thanks for the input everyone!

I just installed my transgo, vette servo, metal accumulator pin, steel seperator plate, and a hughes 2500 stall converter, hooked up with allen of nelson performance for a full custom street tested tune and I can't be more pleased with the outcome. I would definitely say go for the shift kit, servo, and a stall if you can get one.
