aluminum drums actually decrease stoppign distances because they dissapate heat faster and the mass reduction means less inertia to try to slow down. it won't be a revolution in braking or anything, but it does help in both go and stop applications 
if you take teh tranny down to do a shift kit i would suggest getting a little bit higher stall convertor. it will let the car come off the line in a little sweeter spot in the power band and will make a huge difference in launch and any other time you go from light throttle to WOT from a lower rpm. no need to do anythign crazy, jsut a little 2400-2600 stall will work nicely.
biggest thing is get a set of gears in taht thing. i am not kidding when i say 4.10's are a good starting poitn for gears. most peopel who switch actually see improvements in mileage and definately a killer improvement in ets.

Yeah, i've been thinking about it, but i just don't have the money right now ... i did however put in my mass air unit w/ the silencers removed ... the response is better ... going for headers next ... stall converter will probally go in along w/ the shift kit ... i assume it wouldn't be that expensive the best shift kit for my car is about $60 ... also looking at a new cam ...
