Default Please help with upgrade!

I have been searching for the last few days but I can’t seem to get the answers that I am looking for.

I have already purchased a Yank TTR3000 torque converter, Tru-Cool 40k transmission cooler, and the EAD Performance bracket/install kit.

Since I will be working on the transmission I figured I would install a shift kit too.

While reading about shift kits, I see that many people recommend to install some other parts while everthing is taken apart.

I am trying to put together an order but I want to make sure I go everything right the first time. Is there anything that I am missing or that I got wrong?
  • Transgo HD2 Reprogramming Kit. This seems to be the shift kit that most people recommend.
  • Corvette Servo Kit. Another common recommendation.
  • Aluminium front accumulator. I don’t know if I should go with the OEM or Sonnax.
  • Aluminium 1-2 accumulator. I read that I have to go with the OEM as the Sonnax pinless will not work with the Transgo HD2 kit.
  • Aluminium 3-4 accumulator. I don’t know if I should go with the OEM or the Sonnax.
  • Transgo seperator plate. I read that the Transgo HD2 kit comes with the gasket for this plate so I don’t need to purchase an additional one.
  • Transmission pan gasket. I read not to use the cork gasket with the Transgo HD2 kit.
  • Sonnax Torlon check ball 0.250” 10pc. I read to use these check ***** to prevent damage to the separator plate.
I am also confused about how many washers to use and what size hole to drill.

Where did you read this? I plan on adding a HD2 and the pinless 1-2 accumulator and have not read that they won't work together anywhere?

Thanks!
