The beast sunshell,wide band not kevlar,zpack in 3-4,fairbanks intermediate super servo ,sonax super servo for 4th,Pwm elimination mod (transgo kit has it in it ),.500 boost valve,full time lube mod to pr valve. Turn pcs center screw 1/4 turn clockwise ,Use transgo shift kit but do not use the shims in the accumulators but do every thing else.
replace input sprag with 29 element unit ,
Other than that just use a good quality rebuild kit (transstar)(toledo)
check and recheck everything and you should be fine and happy with the result

We will shortly have a online for you guys! If you are looking a list of parts look at our build sheets for the different levels. This will give you a good idea of what really needs to go into your unit. I don't think cranking up a epc along with a shift kit is such a good idea. Also if you don't want a 3-2 clunck or abusive 1-2 shifts I would strongly suggest staying away from the superior servo. We don't use them due to the fact we have seen many broken bands and also broken servo clips. If you want an aftermarket second servo I would look into the sonnax 2nd servo. It does have increased holding power over the factory corvette servo but also all the factory accumulation springs are used as well. Feel free to give us a call any time for advise and pricing. Thank you for your time, Vince.

I'm not quite sure what your question is here. We use the trans-go kit if that is what you are asking. Like I said if you need anything feel free to call any time. I have to get ready to get to work. Call me later if you got time.
