I'd lose that stock convertor immediately and go with a 2200 to 2600 stall for a decent all around street/strip package that can be driven daily without a bunch of headaches.A trans cooler is a must.
3.73's with my GVOD worked very well. You could do anything with the car with that setup. As in run 80mph down the interstate at 2900-3000.
I recently went to a 28" tire and 4:56's. Great around town and highway. a bit much for the interstate but I'm not on that very often. 2500 at about 60mph.
