DTT transmission upgrade time.....

Okay DTT guys I need some advice. In the next month or so I am going to get my DTT tranny updated and tuned up. When I bought the TC/VB combo that was all that DTT offered and so I bought it. I have been very happy but I have been running it about 200 HP over its intended (what I told Bill I was going to run) setup. So here is the question, considering the mods in my signature (and adding super mental injectors) what exactly should I do. My TC is a 91%.

Here is my plan, tell me if it too much or not enough...

Go through tranny and replace any worn parts (a given).
A full DTT update kit, including clutches and billet piston.
Add a billet input shaft
Add smart controller
Have valve body checked and recalibrated to current HP rating
Have TC checked for wear and resurfaced (lined) if necessary.

How does that sound??

Do I need a billet output shaft too???

So I know the next question, how do you use your truck. Well basically I just drive it a my daily driver, do a little street racing (ie smoking the ricers and Fords) and I tow my snowmachines and drift boat around. I have been considering going to the drag strip but I have resolved to re-upgrade the tranny first.

So let it rip, what do I need.

Thanks,

John
