I'm with Trever1t,
one step at a time, you may find that you don't wand/ need a new torque converter ( I like my stock one). and yes you are right the 80 will be much happier than the junk 60. I would get a shift kit, along with the radix. And enjoy. Then see what you need/want next....
AND FWIW. I bought on of those high-end B&M coolers only to have the bypass valve fail and the cooler plug. it nearly took the trans with it. IMHO, the stock one will do just fine, especial with a stock converter...

Anyway yes, I would also recommend doing one mod at a time. It is more work but you get a feel of what you like and what you don't like. Also it's a lot easier to debug than adding a whole bunch of new stuff and then have problems, and not know where to start looking first.

That makes good sense. Does everybody agree that the shift kit is good from the start? What about the meth kits, from what I hear they help cool off intake temps. It was 81 degrees today here in Louisiana...you can imagine what the summers are like.

Meth/water will help keep your iat down. But a little word of caution, don't reply on meth for fueling if you don't plan on checking it every day. I would suggest a meth kit with 50/50 mix.... There are a few good set-ups around. I personally like ALKYControl..
