Arrow Critique my new setup

FLT 4L60E Lv.4 Transmission w/Vacuum Mod (15% off this month!)
Yank SS3800
TCI Flexplate
Prothane Mount
B&M Supercooler

What do you think? This is for my street/daily driver that sees some racing from time to time. I have done a ton of research and reading to decide on these parts so I am pretty set on them. This setup will be strong enough to handle future plans with ease.

But really my question is am I forgetting any parts I will need, or may want to do at the same time? Bolt kit? Just making sure i'll be good to go.

unfortunitly no setup is bullitproof, but the setup that he is looking at should work really nice for him.

if you haven't had a prothane mount yet, you WILL dislike it. i just installed one last night and it really brought out every little vibration from the engine and what i believe is every bump in the road. got rid of my light throttle gear-change clunk, though

my car was SO very smooth and quiet, now it vibrates and squeaks

But what else is there?

This combo is gonna hit hard, and i'll probably break a stock mount...

Also is $350 good for the labor? I won't be doing this myself (lack of tools/work area).
