Default Order of Operations

I am looking to improve thr looks and power of my Monte. I will be getting my BCM replaced soon. I was wondering what the logical next step be for my project? Is it something that is my own personal preference? I am looking to get the bumpers replaced and the car repainted as well as getting the dings and rust taken care of. Not much as far as rust thank goodness. I want to go with WOT's stage 2 package for the 3400. I will also be repkscing my rods and pistons through them as well. Would a HD conversion be neccesary for the tranny as well?

I look forward to everyone's thoughts and ideas. Swapping motors is not an option as I want to keep the 3400.

I personally don't think there is value for an HD trans on a 3400. The parts that typically fail in the trans are not part of the HD upgrade (which is just a different differential, diff cover and axle half shaft).

If you are worried about the trans, I would advise contacting Triple Edge Performance.

OK. I wasn't sure if that was something that I needed to consider becsuse of the hopefully added power from the Stage 2 kit from WOT and new rods, bearings, and forged pistons.

There will be no body mods or wheel swap. I am going for the sleeper look.
