What else to add when installing Trans Go Shift Kit

I will be having a Trans Go Shift kit (HD-2) put into my 4L60E in the next month or so. What else should I do at the same time? So far I have the following parts:

*Trans Go Reprogramming Kit (4L60E-HD2).
*Trans Go 4L60E Valve Body Plate 1995 Heavy Duty (46-PLT-95).
*Trans Go Corvette Servo Piston 700R4 4L60 4L60E.
*Servo release check valve for the 700R4 & 4L60E.

Is there any other parts I should get? Anything else I should do while I have the above installed? How many spacers do y'all recommend I use? Thanks!
Mike

I haven't done the install yet. I'm hoping to have it done in the next 2 weeks or so. The servo is supposed to be a great addition too. I got mine off ebay for $20 shipped to my door. The valve body plate we bought has an improved design and is made from tempered steel for longer life and zinc plated to be rust proof. I'll let ya know how I like it when I get it in.

When you get ready to install this call me and I will walk you through a few things and some other modifications you can do, 909 795-1876. Go to a transmission shop and pickup 8 Torlon 1/4" checkballs from an AOD or AODE transmission. This will keep from destroying the separator plate. Ask for a Viton sealing ring kit for the 2-4 servo. These work much better than the scarf cut teflon sealing rings on the 2-4 servo. DO NOT add any spacers to the 2nd accumulator. With the stock 12" torque converter, drill the 2nd feed hole in the separator plate to .082", with a 10" or smaller torque converter, drill the 2nd feed hole to .093". This will give you something to do for now.

The Corvette servo is an upgrade. If you use the TransGo Shift kit, you will not need the Servo release check valve. I am the only one who answers the phone, and I will help you with the torque converter selection.
