Post 4L60E beef up

Ok, guys I have a stock 4.8 other than the K&N CAI. I need to know what you guys think of this part list just for a cheap rebuild of my 4L60E.

TCI Auto 378951 - TCI Pro Super Transmission Overhaul Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com
Hughes Performance HP3780E - Hughes Performance Deep Aluminum Transmission Pans - Overview - SummitRacing.com

not really trying to do much right now no need for a 80E right now.
Any input will help.

Go with a corvette servo, Sonnax billet 4th gear servo, aluminum accumulator pistons, hardened Transgo separator plate, Transgo HD2 shift kit with no washers and TruCool 40,000 GVW trans cooler. And 70% torque management left in, which I think is the real difference maker.

All of these can be done with the trans still in, and most, with maybe the exception being the shift kit, you can do yourself.

That sounds amazing but amazing is always expensive lol. I want to have full manual cause a have the B&M floor shifter that's why i want to get some opinions on what you thought of the parts in the links?

O yea I was gonna get Black bear to remove some TM, but why do you just 70% why not all of it?

No, Beacuse TCI is just throwing there name on it. That don't actually make any of those parts. Most people go directly to a transmission supply place to get the parts.

It looks like that kit does include a Corvette Servo and some sort of Shift kit so the price might not be to bad.
