Stall speed or Truetrac with gears?

[Chris092183]

What do you guys think I should get first?
I should have around 440/450 rear wheel after I get my tune (just an estimate) it'll probably be here this coming week.
right now if I give it anywhere near half throttle out of the hole the truck has no traction compliments of the supercharger. I just ordered a sfift kit that i'll be throwing in soon but I'd rather not have to buy all the damn quarts of dextron again in such short of a time frame if I'm gonna throw a stall in too.
What do you guys think I should get first?
Also how many quarts will I have to replace if I'm just puting a shift kit in?

Thanks guys.

Have you gotten a built trans yet? If you have no traction issues now, gears and a stall aren't going to help any. I'd suggest doing more to maintain than enhance at this point in time.

I know that. I was looking for more of a pull on the 3rd and 4th gear (when i do get traction) which I guess I should've stated. I just figured if I were to opt for the truetrac (which would obviously help me with the traction problem) in I might as well put the gears in too while I'm in there. I'm just wondering what the best choice would be stall w/gears or truetrac to make my truck quicker that's all.

And no the trans isn't built yet. I had bought a 4x4 4l80 but I had to sell it which sucks because I bought it from a gm tech and it was in great condition too dammit.

I'd opt for the gear/locker. Stall isn't going to help "pull" as much. It'll keep you in power band better, but not increase pull. I'd look at a set of cal-tracs too.

gears and tru trac. less work

gears alone can actually help you stop spinning, lower gears reduce the wheel speed at which the converter stalls, not saying do them alone by no means.

tru-trac and gears sounds great....

What are caltracs?

did you do yours? how long did it take?

Build the trans before anything, the minute that thing starts hooking it's gonna break.
