with the mods I have done I was using a 518 until I broke the rev band overloaded it in 4low trying to back 26000lbs up a ramp. should have stopped when it was spinning the tires in 2wd. Only upgrades to trans was extra clutchs in front clutch pack and suncoast convertor. I still have the convertor if your looking for one.
