I think a looser converter would get you what you're looking for without giving up anything.



Take CC's advice! Get yourself a 2000 or 2200 stall if it is a daily driver, or a 2200 or 2400 stall if it is weekend only. Make sure it is a lock-up converter. Talk to PeteK, he can get you one at a great price, or make sure you buy a good one. There is much more to be had here than in the gears with your setup. The car will feel like it has more gear in it because the converter will put you in your powerband when you take off. Trust me, you will be blazing the tires when you want.

Another great mod for you would be a B+M shift improver kit. They can be had for less than $50 and can be installed yourself in an afternoon if you are careful and follow the directions to a T. OR you could have the same shop that installs the converter put in the shift improver kit. It has like 3 different shift settings, use the all out performance one since the higher stall converter will soften the shifts some.

If you had the 2.59 rears then I'd tell you to go to 3.07's, or 3.54's at most. Since you already have the 3.07's keep them and call it money ahead.
