Don`t pocket the $.Install a Gear Vendors Overdrive in the Camaro to make it more street friendly with the 4.11`s and first gear in the 350 and go with a lower stall converter.You can choose the gears that best suits your cam profile.IMHO.

Yeah that's actually crossed my mind. Don't plan on lowering the stall speed. My actual plan is to do a custom turbo setup and ditch the nitrous, send the converter back to FTI to have it setup for the turbo, and swap the 4.11 to a 3.50 gear in the Moser 9 inch rear.

Re: Long lost love (Camaro SS) Wants to return home. Dilemma!!!!
The problem I have with big stalls on the street are people.More specifically drivers in front of me and slow moving traffic. It`s a killer on transmissions and now you are going with a higher rear ratio.I`ve gotten one moving violation in 35 years.It was in my BB 3200 stall 69 Camaro doing 35 mph in a 35 mph zone.Cop asks "You know why I pulled you over?" Defendant`s answer -"Cause......I got a cool car". "Over-reving your motor". Can`t get out of first gear going that slow.

The problem with the GTO is as time goes on, parts for that car that arent engine related (since its a basic LS2) are going to be hard to come by. Get the Camaro back...someone will snatch the GTO up in due time. There isnt a cleaner one out there!

That has already been an issue with 4th gen fbodies. Getting a sail panel when the stocker started bubbling due to the adhesive issue was impossible. Couldn't find them when I had mine. 6LE finally got some made, but he is the only vendor so what happens if he goes out of business? There are still other parts that you have to get from salvage.
With the gto, you also have Holden Monaro parts that can be used elsewhere.
