Transmission Upgrades?

I would like to know what all those first gen's out there are doing as far as auto tranny upgrades. I have the 518 tranny in my truck, and I am planning on BOMBING soon! I will most likely go with the 300 injectors and a 16 cm turbo at least...maybe even the 230HP VE pump. I need to what everyone is using and if you are all satisfied with your choice. I know the BD-power converter is a good one, and I see all the 2nd gen guys rave about DTT. Does DTT make a converter for the first gens, I didn't see it on their website. Any other converters/upgrades I should look at?

Thanks!
Eric O.
