Default Best shift kit for a stock trans and ts 6 pos

I'm trying to build my truck to be reliable amd fast but without dropping to much money,tops 1500$ in all. I currently have 4in turbo back with k&n and ts 6pos chip. I'm thinking I'm going to out a better touqe converter and a shift kit. Then maybe injectors and head studs if needed

A 7000 lb truck will never be fast with 1500$...

For transmission parts, I'd call RacerX, they seem to know what they are doing around these Ford Transmissions...

You wont need headstuds until you start looking at that 450+hp region which 1500 will not touch with a ten foot pole...

A set of rebuilt stage 1's will cost you anywhere for 500-1200 bucks depending on how rebuilt they get. You need gauges if you don't already have them so that's another 350 bucks.. and then your trans mods will not be cheap... I'd suggest doing supporting mods before even thinkin about injectors otherwise you will be in a huge money pit that you can't get yourself out of...
