Transgo shift kit--help me get the right stuff

I'm looking at getting the kit from summit part #trg-700. What does this coe with and what else do I need? I've been reading past post that recommend the corvette servo, other boost valves and accumilators. I think Pro-built sells all this.
I had an SLP shift kit in another camaro and loved it but they don't appear to have it anylonger. Guys help me out hear I want a good kit, smooth shifts at part throttle and chirp the tires when I stand on it. I'll also have a vigilante stall about 2400 stall.

Later, Mike

I would go with the transgo shift kit with the corvette servo, give pro-built a call, they are really helpful and will probably recommend getting the ACT 9.5" torque converter instead of the vigilante which will save you about $150, so you can get the shift kit, corvette servo and TC for the price of the vigilante.

TransGo 700R4 Street/Strip Shift Kit w/1-2 accumulator $148.32
700R4/4L60E - A.C.T. 9.5" $565.00

Total $713.32

Thanks for the rec. on the torque converter, but I already got a great deal on a vigilante from a budy. It is used but still in good shape and I only gave $175.00 for it.

I bought my TransGo shift kit from Dana @ Pro-Built, I would suggest calling Dana and tell him what you want your car to do and he will have the kit for you.
