Default Trans ?

I'm building a 88 Vette with a 383 in it and i'm wondering what should I do to my 700 R ? I'm going to Bracket Race & drive it on the street. But mostly Race it. One Trans shop guy wanted to know if I wanted to go with a reverse manual valve body? Do I ? What are some of the setups you guys use? Before I go get it rebuilt. THANKS FOR ANY HELP Pipe

How much hp and torque?
How high will you spin it?
Power adder or no?

Thanks for the reply Pete. I'm not sure about the HP numbers yet but it's a pretty stoudt motor 383 Lunati forged lightweight crank, forged I beam rods, Wiesco Pistons, Milodon steel splayed 4 bolt caps, Brodix track 1 angle plug heads w/full c&c port &polish job topped by a TPIS mini ram and AS &M 58mm TB I'm not sure how high it will rev either. Just tryin to get some idea of what to do. Too bad you don't live in Pa. anymore Pete I could drop the trans off to ya and stop to see Opey at the same time. THANKS FOR THE REPLY Pipe
