727 vs TKX

hello FABO, I originally had plans to build my motor up in order to obtain better performance (340 with a 727 stock converter with 3.23 posi) I was suggested to upgrade my transmission, gearing and suspension first to get all the power from my engine to the wheels. He had suggested a tkx 5 speed swap along with more aggressive gearing in the rear.

My question is: how comparable is a higher stall converter along with streetable rear gears compared to a full 5 speed swap?

(Note: this is not a fully built race car, I am looking for something can compete from streetlight to streetlight and occasional highway pulls while maintaining drivability)
Who exactly is spending your money for you? Keep the 3.23’s and go at least 2800 on the stall and you’ll love it.

I hope you can drive a stick like Ronnie Sox if you think you can be competitive stop light to stop light with all these modern muscle/super cars out there with their 8 speed automatic’s and built in launch control.
