Awesome Bojak... I agree with the gearing. Im looking at 2.73's with that towing converter on mine to bump the mileage. I figure if its low stall its not going to be slipping like the stall converter I have in right now and I believe I have enough bottom end torque with my TPI that it wont lug the engine too bad. I also have a GearVendor which I can split gears with, basically I can be in second gear and turn on the GV and be in second over which is between 2nd and third gear keeping the engine happy if need be or any other gear for that matter. Headers should help, try adding a balance tube to the exhaust or an X pipe. Good luck, I'm still following this thread...
