Since I'm not going for a tranny swap, there are apparently a few mods I need to do in order to turn my factory slushbox into a street/strip auto. Can anyone help explain to me which of these I'd need, or don't need? Car is DD by the way, so nothing too extreme.
Transmission Cooler: #1 priority, I'm going to get this done first. Car already has 37,000 HARD driven miles on the odometer since leaving the dealership in my hands. I'm talking infrequent, aggressive downshifts, and very frequent WOT runs. Is it almost too late to help?
Trans-Go Shift Kit: To my understanding this will "firm" up my shift points, will it allow me more control in shifting based on the pedal/throttle position? I really don't like how my car shifts from the factory, or how it sometimes decides to upshift/downshift/OD unnecessarily.
Torque Converter/Stall Kit: Now, silly question, but are these the same thing? Will I need both, if not? How does a 2800 RPM stall kit work... can I turn it on and off, or will I be launching at 2800 from every stoplight for the rest of the part's life?
Thanks in advance for helpful answers... I do plan on going FI eventually, hopefully within the next year/year and a half. (I was going to go straight for a KB 1.7, but i figure it'd be smarter to do all the bolt ons plus a forged bottom end before going for turbo or 2.2 KB).
