Default What to do next???

I don't know to do next to my truck. I just finished up a headder swap OBX lts with or-y pipe and full 3" exhaust to a 4" tip gears went in(4.11s) and I'll be getting tuned wend. Truck is an 09 silverado cc 5.3 with 6speed. Idk if I should do my 212/218 cam with DOD delete and run without a converter for a little or do my converter first. I've read nothing but good things on the 212/218 cam but everything I've read has been with the 4speed. Opinions plz thanks guys

I would do the cam first .the 6 spd has alot lower 1 st gear than the 4 spd you may not need the converter esp with 4.11

With a hi stall converter and where you live yes a bigger cooler pbly is wise ......but for me with stock convertor towing 7000lbs the stock trailer package cooler has never had a problem even when I tow down south FWIW

Get a good trans temp guage first and monitor it ....
