Default 4l60e bandaids?

anyone feel like writing a good list of bandaids to put on my 60e? I feel like beefing it up and im not quite sure what all to go with. So far, i plan on:

transgo HD2
2nd and 4th gear servos (brand?)
hardened seperator plate
aluminum 1-2 accumulator piston

and i think ive heard mention of replacing the lockup solenoid... would this keep the tc locked better?

i would like to know as well cause I have been reading up on this for a few days. IMO it would be great if we had a *sticky* on transmission mods.

A tranny cooler or an upgraded one if you already have one and maybe a deeper finned pan to aid in cooling....

Here is a list of what I've read and just purchased. I havent installed yet, I'm waiting on the Brown Santa.

Transgo HD2 ~$85
Hardened Zinc coated Separator Plate ~$15
Aluminum 1-2 accumulator piston ~$10
Corvette servo ~$15
B&M transmission cooler 70624 ~$50

I chose the corvette servo because when I looked at the Sonnax servos and the almost $100 price tag. So I rolled that toward the tranny cooler. Granted the sonnax servos sound like there worth it. I'm trying not to misplace too much money, so the wife doesnt notice

Sorry I dont know, infact I would like to know the answer to that also. Because I'm looking at getting boost hopefully in the next year. And I'm at a toss up as far as which unit to get but if I knew where to locate my trans cooler it would help me out with the future install.

I was told by a trans builder that he suggest the Superior Shift kit in the 700R4s and 60E's. He said they are cheaper and the exact same stuff as a Transgo..
And instead of the Vette Servo, some Billet Servos.

He gave me a price of $180...

But im lookin into some parts so when my trans goes.. ill have everything to get it rebuilt.
