Id say go with the PI converter LONG before you ever put in cams. You will see a huge increase in performance with that stall converter. Then, on the subject of Stage 2 Vt's, some people (they had a 5 speed mind you) have seen 50 hp gains under the curve. That is with nothing else on the car I believe, no longtubes or anything. There was a post on Modulardepot. I think peak gains with them are around 20 for the stage ones, and 30 with the stage 2s. Dont forget new valvesprings and a tune are required for the stage 2's, so its pretty big dough.
