I would get a custom valve body rather than the shift kit. The rest you'll
need anyway with the new converter. You should probably opt for a secondary
tranny cooler as well. I assume you already have the hvy duty cooling
option. The last thing I'd install with the new converter is a transmission
fluid temperature gauge.

Subject: DML: Tranny Build-Up Questions
I finally broke down and ordered a Precision Industries Viper converter. My
requested/anticipated stall speed will be is in the 3400-3600 range. I
can't wait, I'd love to see air under those tires, but i'll keep dreemin :)
During this installation, I will be installing a Trans-Go shift kit, Mopar
aluminum deep pan, Redline synthetics and a cooler. Anyone have any other
recomendations on ways to beef up the tranny, "preventative maintenance" if
you wanna call it that. I'm not interested in doing a complete rebuild as
the tranny has only 36K miles, however I'd like to do as many things
possible to have a reliable street/strip tranny.
Thanks,
