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
