no, I don't think I'll run anywhere near a 12.5. I'm thinking more along a 13 flat, maybe crack into the 12s

Get them both but if only one go with the DS. You have a CAI and tune right? Go get the car dyno tuned after install of the DS and the tuner can firm up shift points so the car is faster and crisper when shifting. The stock converter will hold for a while and the money saved while waiting for it to fail will get a great aftermarket stall converter! JMO

His DR's will help and a tune can tighten and shorten the shifts on an auto......run the stock converter until it breaks or starts failing and by that time you have the money for the stall. IMO the DS will free up the drivetrain and the car will be smoother and faster....thats the route I would suggest but thats JMO...

Is the driveshaft install pretty straightforward?

You havent gotten to the 12's with those mods yet? I ran 13.04 with BBK CAI & Bama Tune only.

I have the 3000 stall, Wish I went with the 3500 stall.Car can handle it no problem.Remember with a higher stall you will need to upgrade the brakes if you want to reach the stall,or your tires will just start to spin.
