maybe you can # them from 1 to 10. 1 being the most important mod to do first. Also an estimate of price would be cool too.

The search engine ia a wonderful thing. This topic has been beaten to death, like my first tranny.
I got all my parts through Chad at
www.kdsperformance.com. They have manuals that really inform you to what takes the most abuse in the tranny.

click on link.

Creederado I just built a transmission with everything on Hitman x's list plus an Eaton posi with 3.73 gears and a TA rearend cover.I just hope it will live with 500 lb/ft of torque.

Hey man, what kind of programmer did you end up with? How do you like it? I bet you are much happier with that Whipple!! The tranny should last a while depending on how much abuse you throw at it. Mine went about 20,000 miles before it started slipping. I think the main upgrades you want are going to be better 2-3 clutches, kevlar band, big servos and a shift kit. I got my parts from www.transmissioncenter.net
