A few loose ends need tying up.

Car is going in the shop on April 5th to begin the engine swap and rear end swap and install all my new goodies. However, there are a few things that need tying up as the thread states.

first: what proportioning valve should I use for the rear end swap, the rear is out of a 2001 WS6, most stuff is on it but I know I will need a proportioning valve...also, will the thirdgen e-brake cable work?

second: I'll be installing a trans-go shift kit, does the one summit sells have the 2 stages in the kit? As in, the one for automatic shifting and the one with the manual valve body? Can someone give me a clue with whats included? Also, where can I get a new servo for the thing and for how much, and is that valve that lets you shift into 4th at WOT worth it, because I'll only really be getting on it from a stop, not on the highway. If it is, where can I get it and for how much?

third: Anyone know of a high quality Torque converter? Two people from another website both suggested one from yank, but after speaking with them the best price they can give me for a 2800 stall converter is 450. Thats a tad high. I'm looking more for a 300 dollar converter with the same stall. Also, with that stall and no slicks, will I have traction problems at the track? If so, should I stick with the stock converter for now?

fourth: what fuel pressure should I set the thing at for my drive about 75 miles away to get it tuned. It will be running on the stock 5.0 prom, yet have the 24# injectors and such so it will be screwy.

last: what gaskets should I use for my headers? I used mr.gasket copperseals for the first time and was very unsatisfied, as they blew rather quickly (shop didnt tighten them enough, but i figured they should last until I could, I was wrong). I hear FelPros are good.

Thats all I can think of right now. My setup is listed here:
