I was wondering what parts you guys use in your rebuilds? We use raybestos blues, Kolene steels and a kevlar band in our 200's. What else seems to work well?

82 z28 350cid, vortec heads, comp 262h cam, Holley 600cfm carb, 2in twice pipes, MSD ignition, turbo 350 trans, 3.73 posi, manly b&m megashifter

 

The guy who does my transmission work isn't a fan of the Raybestos blues, says he doesn't think you really get anything for the extra cost. My 700 has the Borg-Warner High-Energy frictions.

 

I went with alto read eagle frictions and kolene turbulator steels.

The powerpack (add on) gives you 9 frictions in the 3-4 pack and a band that gives you 1/4" more apply area and fits a stock case.

I like the warning they give you with the kit: don't use red eagles in regular or heavy duty applications because of customer complains from the much shorter and firmer shifts. Use for hi-performance only.....

Sounds like the kit for me! I heard raybestos and borg warner are a good brands also.
