Rear end can be beefed up by Dynotech or RPM. Would invest in a DTE Rear Brace.

As for stall, I would not go to high, but that's just my personal preference. Brand wise there are alot of choices.

What's Quidance?

DTE or RPM, can't go wrong with either one. As far as torque converter, go with a Vig. Stall speed is going to be dependant on if you want to do any future mods or not.
