I've planned for a few future mods. They will be done one at a time (funds permitting) and the order in which they will be done are:

1. Complete PI swap then
2. Shift kit/torque converter/transmission cooler followed by
3. 3.73s or 4.10s ending with
4. Tuneup (to correct shift points as well).

Is this a good order or should I get one done before the other? Mods are in my sig.

Thanks,
Bubba Z.

i would do the rear end gears first. by tune up do you mean getting a programmer to change shift points?

i would do the stall converter with a cooler, then do the PI swap last. you want your foundation strong before you start making the engine too powerful for it.

if your doing everything over a few days of work your lists looks good, but if your doing it over a period of time then beefing your trans first will be good then do the rest and any order.

tranny/readend, full PI swap and VT or Comp cams, then get it all tuned.

Alright....lets split the difference and say he should save up and get #2 and #3 done at the same time.

Thanks all for your help! Makes sense to beef up the tranny before the engine.
