For that money I'd do the Precision Industries 2800 rpm torque converter, add a tranny cooler, and maybe an intake and exhaust, but I personally don't think the intake/exhausts do much for performance.

What do you think the TC will do? What is the best bang for the buck..?

Thank guys.

Scratch the TC upgrade on the GS430 - I hear it causes check-engine light problems.

I'd still do the TC even if the engine light pops on. Best bang for the buck mod IMO.
