I'm planning on doing everything you have (except wheels) plus a ported tb, underdrive pulley, cam and dyno tune. I think you'll be in the 11's with gears once you get your tune lined out perfectly.
As I indicate earlier in the thread, I have the 3200 FTI from RX. Big advantages are that it's billet, lighter, and new.

I personally do not recommend going with a reworked stock converter (as many are). No reason not to get a new one that is lighter and stronger, cheaper and with no core charge or anything. You may get more daily driveability out of a 2800 stall, but I don't know if it would do as well as mine did - four-tenths.

Oh, and I still have my Meziere Electric Water Pump and my SLP Underdrive Pulley waiting to go in. They'll go in after I get my 11-second slip with the gears.
