the only way i could do a cam that big now is get mail order retune and srive that till i can afford to have it professionally tuned or to buy tuning software myself and a laptop that would be quite a while being in school and all.

you can stay small and still run 12's if your combo is right... looks like you have most of the bolt-ons. you just need a stall, cam, and a custom tune and you'll be set.

if it's done right i'd guess it should last for a while. i've never messed with automatics so i couldn't tell you. i just had my built by a local tranny shop here. i've been beating on it since mid july and it hasn't missed a lick yet.

If oyu want it to last and not have to worry about blowing it up this what you need IMO
Copy Paste from a PM I sent this is all the **** that is in my tranny basically minus the vac mod prices are approximate
$40 - 29 element sprag
$50 - Alto Forward & Low/Rev clutches
$20 - Alto 2-4 Band
$65 - Alto 3-4 clutch pack, full thickness clutch and steels
$60 - Billet OD servo
$40 - Input Drum reinforcement kit
$10 - Aluminum accumulator pistons
$35 - Beast reaction shell
$15 - TransGo plate
$115 - HD reaction carrier shaft
$25 - High RPM 3-4 spring pack
$7 - Hardened Pump rings
$130 - all new solenoids and harness (except EPC dont need as you go vac)
$15 - Sonnax check valve
$170-420 - hardened or billet output shaft
$90 - Vac modulated Shifts
This is a list of what you would need pretty much. Get a transgo hd-2 shift kit vette servo and a billet od servo if you plan WOT 4th gear shifts. I got a hardened shaft and it seems to be taking the torture of offroading with 33's. Oh and a big azz tranny cooler heat is the main enemy. If you really dont want to have anything to worry about get the 5 pinion planetaries get factory gm ones not aftermarket I know it sounds weird but the factory ones are powdered metal and they are much stronger than aftermarket. My tranny cooler is a 40,000 gcvw and it keeps it nice and cool(150*). Vac shift stuff is if you want to do away with the EPC solenoids which controls line pressure(ie shift firmness) you replace it with a ford C4 unit me personnally I wouldnt do this cause you have to run a vacuum line and all that bs. Let me know if you have any questions. The prices are approximate. I got my stuff from 4l60-e.com.
