Default 4l60e torque converter install questions

I'm going to be installing the circle d 2e which is a 4000 stall with the transgo hd2 shift kit and tranny cooler of course. My car is a 98 full bolt ons car with stock heads and cam. My question is what do most people change or upgrade when they install a converter? Will it be fine as is? I was thinking maybe Corvette servos but any suggestions so I can keep my tranny alive and kicking on what most people do?

I've been told it should be fine as is at this power level and not to worry about a shift kit until I do a rebuild. Any thoughts?

Stock heads and cam I wouldn't worry about anything except it won't hurt to do vette servos. Just make sure you get a good trans cooler.

Do 98s already have vette servos? I've been told 2 different answers. I've been told only 01-02s came with them and then others have said all ls fbodys did. Which is correct

All Z28 F-body cars have them from 1993 up as far as I know. Mine had the same one that came in the Transgo kit.
