transmission and rearend

im deciding on wht i should do, for 1,500 a transmission shop will do this
shiftkit, 2400-2600 stall, corvette servo 2nd and 3rd, and 3.73 gear in rearend (10bolt)
wht i currently have done do my car so far,
shorty headers, new cat, borla catback, bbk underdrive pulley, intake, jet stg 2 chip. thats it so far
what are your suggestions, full rebuild including stated above would be 2400-2700ish.
should i see how it holds up and save up later for rebuild?

Re: transmission and rearend

It depends what direction you are going to go with the car. If you keep your car as a mild bolt-on as it is now, you should be okay without doing a full rebuild as of now. However, if you plan on making routing track visits, or building a high-hp motor, or just beat the hell out of the car on a routine basis on the streets than it would be in your best interest to consider a full rebuild.

Well you can save yourself a couple of hundred bucks and scrap the MSD idea unless you are running a high compression motor or some sort of forced induction, you wont need it. Also, why the bigger injectors? Are you running a stock motor or is it built up?
