Default auto trans help please

I just had my car tuned and we found the tranny had some slipage. I have 5.3 heads with a 228.228 comp can I bleive. The tranny has been rebuilt but I don't know much more than that about it. It also has a yank stall. 3200. I am want to spray it but am now going to hold off until I can come up with the money to rebuild tranny. Just wondering what parts do I need to get to keep this thing alive when I start spraying it. That car went 12.20 at 107 bounsing off the rev limiter betwen 2 and 3 gear last year at the track and also put down 384 on dyno. After getting it tuned I am pretty sure the tune that was in it was not good. The car feels much stronger all ready and I have not even had it at the track yet. I have a very good tranny man but just need to know what goods to put in her. Thanks in advance

This going to suck to hear, drop the $2400 or $2800 for an RMP Trans and end your worries. Either a level 5 or 6! I just put a Novi in my car and I knew the trans was going to blow sooner or later, so I just broke down and bought a level 6 with no future worries, take care of it now, or pay for the tow and worries later!

I forgot to add that I have a Yank SS3200 stall and 3.42 gear! It sucks, but you can sleep better with an RPM trans no question! I am hoping to put down 600!
