Torque Conveerter and Gears.

3000 or less stall for 3.15
3500 or less stall for 3.42

Or you could do what I did 3000 stall and 3.42's very nice setup.

Then LT headers.

With $2500 to spend, I think you'll benefit most from a set of 3.73 gears, LS6 intake and a set of TPIS headers. That's what I'd do anyway. Good luck!

With good weather and track prep, you should be running high 12's, low 13's.
After a converter and gears you should also pick up a pair of drag radials for the track. Then you'll have mid 12's easily.
Even if you keep your 3.15 rear, don't bother getting a converter smaller than a 3,000 stall. I have a Yank SY3500 and a 3.15 rear. It's a little loose feeling, but is still streetable and took .5 off my E.T. If possible, see if anyone in your area that has done converter will let you take their car for a quick test drive.
