Default How's this build sheet sound for 4l60e?

Build is similar to FLT level 3, my question: Is there any additional affordable upgrades that would greatly improve performance/durability? I plan on staying N/A but you know how that goes, plans change down the road. I'll also be installing an Edge 3600 stall with the tranny next week. I'm far from a tranny expert so any input is greatly appreciated. current mods in sig,near future mods include a TR220-112,Patriot springs, LS-1 intake,e-fans,ud pulley and eventually AFR heads at 10.5-10.75:1 CR.I dynoed 283rwhp 330rwtq with mods in sig, my goal is 400rwhp with a stock bottom end 5.3.

B/W clutches
Seal & gasket kit
Bushings
Wide 2-4 red lined band
Bonded pistons/input drum
Beast sun shell
B/W 29 element sprag
4L65 low roller clutch
Transgo HD-2 shift kit
Corvette servo
New solenoids
Spacer plate
Updated accumulator pistons
Set end play to performance specs

looks pretty basic. It looks more like a rebuild than a build up.

Id rec. pinless accumulator pistons, work pretty good. Also, Ive had really good luck and long life with vacuum modulators.. and theyre not that expensive.

Are you rebuilding your existing tranny or do you have a good core to start with? I don't see any pump parts on your list... maybe a service kit for that and include a Transgo pump ring and slide spring kit.

Sorry I'm on vacation this week and the boards are not my top priority this week. As far as what you have listed you have covered most of what you are going to need. I believe that the pump should be addressed as bill said. Take a look at the link in my Sig for some more info on the build. The thread is not complete however there is a ton of photo's and info for you there. Just keep in mind that as builders we do not always give away our trade secrets. We are in this to make money and for us it is a way of paying the Bills. It's great to see guy's try to do it themselves and I commend you for doing so. Good luck with your build and if you need parts we have them available for you. Feel free to give me a call after Christmas when I'm back at the shop or in the meantime Chuck is there. Vince

Vince, I wonder how much Chuck hates you right about now.
