Default Info needed please; beefing up 700R4

I will need to rebuild my transmission soon. I Would like info please on what parts I need to replace to beef up the 7700R4. Part #s would be great because I am ignorant when it comes to transmissions. I will have a shop do the work but I want to be able to supply them with the parts.

Thanks

That is not necessarily the best way to go, unless the shop is fine with it.
If someone brought me a box of parts that was gathered up from info on the internet, I would toss them out.
My point is most good builders have their own idea of what is right, and want to do what they are comfortable with.
Just a heads up to check with the builder first.

The shop owner is a friend of mine. He will use what ever I ask him to within reason. I'm sure he will have input as well but being ignorant I wanted to use this oppertunity to hear/learn others experience. I was hoping you would chime in .

I guess what I'm really asking is what parts need to be replaced to beef up the tranny so that it will last longer and handle more horsepower. Educate me
