"just gotta keep in mind you'll stil lbe DD-ing her"????

I forgot to mention that I picked a used co-pilot from a shop back home, hoping that is a good investment also... What is the best kit out of the ones i listed or should i go with something else and is there anycertain converter to go with?? Is it also worth going with a deep trans pan? Im going to go with one of those earl coolers too, figured it wouldnt hurt

So i have found a few diff options, alligator stage 5 for 2280.ppe stage 5 for 2250, ats stage 3 or 4 for around 2275. A suncoast stage 3 or 2250... My question is what have you all ran and have had good luck with... Also tossing around getting the 6sp valve body and tcm... is it worth the 1600 though??? Also what are your thoughts on putting in billet input/output shafts.
Forget the 6speed upgrade when you get the 6 speed tcm from Suncoast its locked and canted be programed by efilive from what ive been told.

Can you use a co-pilot if the valve body has transgo upgrades?
I dont think so its either 1 or the other if you do both you get some very hard shifts,genraltj had a Suncoast with the trans go and he installed the co pilot and had to drop the valve body and i believe he brazed the plate redrilled to the smaller size and reinstalled and all was good.

if you build one then there is no really point to have a backup...just saying it may save you money in the end....unless you are gonna be pushing insane amount of power through it all the time
