Max,
What's the problem? You won, right? I'd leave it alone until you break something. When you HAVE to repair it, you upgrade!
If you must get out of the hole first, get a torque converter with a higher stall speed and a line lock brake setup. Very few people are going to out shift your C6 in a drag race. With a little practice, you can learn to hold the car with the brake as you gradually bring the revs up, watch the cross light, when it goes yellow, count to 6, release the brake and punch it. If there is no left turn light (oops!), you'll win!
You could step up to a 3.31 rear end but you'll be revving that big motor to death on the freeway. Gas station stops will be more frequent, too.
My small block works pretty good through the Tremec 5 speed and the Jag 3.31 rear. It's fine for rallies and the overdrive is great for freeway crusing. It's OK for autocrosses, too, just leave it in second. It shifts kinda slow in a drag race situation though.
Have fun and I hope you see that bozo again,
Paul
