Well, you mentioned that your stall was only a 2000, which sounds like a stock F-body/Vette stall of the 2004R era (actually they were more like 1600-1800 in those apps.). If that's the case, then you've definitely got room to grow in the stall category, and with substantial gains to be had. With soft tires, a good stall converter will benefit you greater than the other things mentioned. Remember, torque is what gets the car moving, and HP is what carries it down the track afterwards. If you buy a good Precision Vigilante, or Yank converter, with the high torque multiplication factors they have, you'll gain alot in ET, and it will give you that spine shaking launch that makes these cars so much fun! I only had a TCI 3000 in my T, which yielded a 1.58 60' and an 11.90 with a stock turbo. I always refer to that because it shows that there are ways to run well without a gigantic turbo. However, my new setup will have a large one, but I'll have all the other components to compliment and use it. Another converter example would be, I went 12.97 with my '99 stock LS1 Z28, but after adding the Precision Vigilante 0-pump 2800 stall to it, I went 12.50, numerous times. It was all due to the converter, as no other changes were made. That's quite a gain for the investment, don't ya' think? I'm certainly hoping to upgrade to the Precision 3500 stall in my Buick, once finances allow it too.
As I said before, you've got the means to go quicker, and still make it fun to drive, and wait until the other things are in place before upgrading the turbo.
Anyway, I think you can see my point now. Feel free to email me if you want more input or detail, so I don't take up too much room on this same post. However, I'll answer your questions, per my data either way... Enjoy.
