What would be the best direction to take to get that snappier acceleration? Also don't want to break the bank either!!:thumbsup3:

I've done both, with about 5-6 years seperation between the mods.

IMO; unless you're a dragstrip frequenter, the gears make for a better "all around" upgrade... to where a higher stall converter helps the launch (but not much else).

here's an interesting thread about a low cost converter... that makes it economical to install along with gears:

When I got my c5 it had 3.15's in it Swapped them to 3.73's cost about 1200.

Betcha that makes your SC vette just run like a raped ape!!

Gears!!! Hands down the best bang for the buck out there...

Gears will wake your Vette right up!!

Another vote for Gears unless you are at the drag strip an awful lot. :D

Go with the gears, less worries, the converter will heat up your tranny unless you got a bad a$$ tranny cooler.
