How does this sound?

when my car was still an AOD i was looking to get a good converter for it because i had heard that a nice converter is close to the best upgrade you can do to an AOD car, well i went the cheap route and got a "2800 stall" from a shop in Indy, needless to say it sucked, only was about 250-300 more rpm stall than stock, so i kicked myself for not getting a good one, by far the best one you can get is the PI stallion, although it is close to $700, but i've read numerous replies about them and people LOVE them, I believe B&M makes one thats cheaper and so does Art Carr, any of a good brand you'll enjoy, you'll want to add a tranny cooler at the same time because nonlockup comnverters create more heat in the tranny
you got the right shift kit picked out with the transGo
get a 2.5" offroad h-pipe if emmisions permit and a good 2.5"aftermarket catback system (flowmaster,dynomax,mac,borla) anyone would be sufficient

with all this (and if you opt for a high dollar converter) you should be running high 13's depending on the shape of your motor/driving ability/ traction/weather
now go out there and spend some cash
good luck
