I am not a super duper trans guy but have built many 450hp 60es with no trouble. I keep it very simple at that power level. BW 65e 3-4 pack, stock band, and a trans go kit set up on the mild side with a vette servo. Good sprag, sunshell, and go through the pump. With good tuning it will last forever like this.

Happy hunting.
