Default 4L60e mild build suggestions

Well my stock 60e finally blew. Lost reverse, 3rd, and overdrive. Lookin to do some sort of upgrades to kind of beef it up. First off I'll say I do plan on puttin a cam in my truck down the road this year. Right now I have the basic headers/intake//4.88 gears/tune. The only upgrade I had for the tranny was a vette servo. I do have a 2800 stall/40k cooler ready to go in when I do the build but what else should I do while in there? I'm not real big on transmissions yet so the searchin I've done has been kind of throwin me off. Any suggestions? Should I just do a shift kit and be done with it? Upgrade clutches, planetary to the 65e one and that sort of thing?

I'm not really lookin to replace the shell, as I don't drive it often. Has become more of a garage queen lately more than anything. Especially with a new job comin up that would alloy me to get a beater to drive. Was lookin to do just some internals. I know for sure I want to do the converter/40k/vette servo/hd2/ 5pinion planetary combo. Is the accumulators,clutches, and sprag a must?

Hd2 shift kit, vette servo, sonnax of servo, transgo hardened separator plate, aluminum accululator pistons, 40,000 gvw tru cool trans cooler. Don't need to remove the trans and very budget friendly.

Prices are about $120, 15, 90, 35, 10, 120 respectively.

I've got my list ready to order all the parts I've researched over, but there's one thing that I'm still unclear of. In the transgo HD2 kit there is a separator plate, is it the same as the transgo hardened separator plate that they sell apart from the kit or are they different pieces?
