I would use the teflon sealing rings, not the hardened ones. The hardened ones tend to wear out parts. Jmo though

redlined is better than kevlar,
wide open throttle valve only applies to the 700r4
possibly add a wide band .
transgo kit

Lots of time and patience , And some tools , a compresser for the drums , and a good pair of flat snap ring pliers , ring sizers if you plan on replacing the teflon sealing rings ,
seal installer tool . are a few . And the understanding that doing it right and paying retail for parts you may end up with as much or more in it that just buying a unit by the time your done, But if you need help in the process or advice just holler,

so far i've found all those parts for about $372... But i was also wondering if there is a kit that i could buy with most of this or better parts that can handle about 500 hp for around the same price or cheaper.. and were would i go to get those tools needed for this..

tool are available from snapon or a mac truck . Several vendors do offer kits but if your looking for that I would post a thread asking about performance rebuild kits specifically so it might get there attention
