I just want something to help launch the car and get the 60' times down a little but still be able to let the wife drive the car. I was debating converter or gears as my next mod but i'm thinking gears wont get me 5 tenths off my 1/4 times...lol.I do have a set of drag radials on 18" wheels to help it hook.The car will always be na but thinking a cam install would be nice this winter...pm me your thoughts and a price on the stall so I can get this installed before fall weather gets here....thanks,Quick.
Just commenting, but I'm always a big fan of higher-stalling torque converters and increases in gearing not so much. That said, I'm undecided on which I would first (if I even did gears). How high does the stock stall go, I've read 1900? I've had a number of 'em between 3200 and 5500.

I have a question, so the C5/C6 guys would replace just the axle on one side that they would typically break, I forget which side haha. Do the 5th gen guys not just replace the one side too? Which side do the 5g guys typically break? Have any built L99 guys broke an axle? Any L99'ers broken the stock 2-piece drive shaft, and if so, at what power level?
