Default tranny options?

ok i have an 01 2500 duramax. i have limped the tranny a couple of times.i plan on buying a new turbo, efi live and other upgrades down the road. what parts need to be replaced and upgraded.its an allison lct 1000. i would like it to be able to hold up to 600 to 800 hp. iv looked at suncoast and ats but am undecided on what to actually buy. are there kits i can buy that would fix this and hold up to that much power? i dont tow anything and i make occasional 1000 mile round trip drives. any links or advice would be much appreciated. thanks
