Which Power Band? Alto Red Eagle or HP Carbon? Getting parts for my trans and the Alto's Red Eagle is $26, or their HP Carbon is $31. Trans won't see more than 350hp/tq, but I want to make sure that if by some chance I come across a boatload of money (hah!) and I do get into the 350-375 power range, it'll handle it. That and I'm just going for longevity, so if $6 nets me the ability to thrash on the trans harder with out a worry, then I'll be happy to spend the $6 
Red Eagle:
"New Alto Red Eagle Power Band - 60% thicker band anchor for HD use - 2 5/8 inch wide
Alto # 057961"
HP Carbon:
"New Carbon Power Band - Thicker band anchor for HD use - 2 5/8 inch wide
Alto # 057961C"
Hoping to order the stuff this eve, or at least by tomorrow afternoon, but I'll surely wait for answers!
Thanks,

You know if this would be recommended?
"TransGo 700-R4 200-4R High Rev pump kit (over 5500 rpm)
TransGo kit: 1 priming spring and 2 hardened steel vane rings"
Just trying to find extra bits that are not costly, but would be a smart thing to install. Seeing that it's only $9.
This is what I'm looking at thus far:
N74020CK Band 700 / 4L60E Power Band - HP Carbon $31.22
74002CF Overhaul kit, 7004R / 4L60, 1982-UP, Fiber pan gasket COMBO $31.91
A74100CPPK Friction & steel kit, 3-4 Powerpack clutch kit, 700R4 / 4L60E, High Performance $90.50
High Performance PowerPack includes: 9 Red Eagle .062 frictions, 8 Kolene steels .076, 2 standard Kolene steels, 1 top backing plate, 1 custom sized snap ring.
(decided this over the Raybestos Z-PACK @ $65. Worth it for a 98% stock motor?)
74241A Washer, 4L60 / 4L60E, Reaction shell. Special design washer for the Beast Shell (which I have). $1.05
