Default Rebuilding Trans

What parts should I get? I keep hearing about the Borg-Warner Hi-Energy clutches and the altco red clutch packs. What else do I need though? Do I need the Trans-Go .500 Main/Intermediate/Reverse Boost Valve or a kit like https://www.700r4l60e.com/store/prod...&cat=58&page=1 or do I need the rebuild kit from TCI or do I need to get the parts individually to rebuild it and also where would you recommend me to buy the parts from?

honestly if you do not know what parts to get I highly reccomennd taking it to a shop the parts are only a fraction of what it takes to make the 60 live not trying to steer you away from learning but you will end up spending alot more money than just having it done If you want to learn get someone to teach you there are alot of principles that have to be learned to build transmissons

Well the transmission works fine right now. I know they normally break the 3-4 clutch pack, so I wanted to replace that. As far as replacing everything else I am not sure yet about what else I want to replace.
