Easiest upgrade on 700r

I just bought a transmission from a guy who claims it was rebuilt a year ago. I have never even pulled the pan off a transmission but I want to know what would be best for me to do to it before I put it in. I want to put a corvette servo and maybe the cheap transgo shift kit but I have no idea what else I should do. I'll also swap the filter and gasket. Motor won't make more than 450hp

There is the corvette upgrade (forget what it is) and also a higher stall convertor while you have it out - if you want faster 1/4 times. 5 speed guys will kill me for saying this but in Ten 1/4 races, the auto will win most of them, no missed gears from human error

the s10 converter is 2200 I think it'll change due to ur engine power and it's cheap. don't do a shift kit right now it'll save time and money if you put the trans in and have a problem to know if the trans is messed up or if the shift kit was put in wrong in case the guy was lieing about the rebuild I feel like ever project car I have bought I was told the trans was rebuilt and I knew it wasn't
