The Enkore build? I saw them. They almost look like a high-end factory option.

Well, lame sauce time. I cancelled my BBK headers order. They are having constant issues and instead of shipping this week, they backed it up AGAIN to November 20th. I could have probably taken one more week, but a month? This is no fault of Matt at Moe's, by the way. He was basically lied to last week when they said they sent them out to the coaters.
So, now I have $400 or so do something with. My first thought was an 87mm Moe's throttle body. However, I want to think out some options. There are plenty of "show" mods I could do like painting my wheels or giving the interior a shot (blacking out the pillars and headliner) but I really wanted something to get the truck moving better.
A re-gear is not going to happen anywhere near that price but I started looking into stall converters. I've seen everything from a Circle-D as low as $400 to an Edge at $700 and back to a Circle-D as high as $1100+. Anyone ever installed one? Any reason why I would need billet this and billet that?

You have to consider that your truck is ten years old versus mine at two...a full rear-end is not as easily or affordably available.

I know my experience is a bit old school, but I've run high stall converters...and while they work well, I've always found a gear swap a better way to increase performance.
What had you planned on running? I also figure you have a limited slip rear as well?
