Trans rebuild idea....good or bad

Hello all, the time has come for me to re-build my trans...I have decided to go with DTT hands down...This was my plan: First of all, I cant afford (well maybe but my wife will shoot me ) a brand new set-up for DTT so....I was going to purchase the following: 1) DTT TQ....2)Valve Body....3) The update kit he sells w/ new clutches...This costs about $1800, The beauty of this whole thing is I have a good friend that does trans. work and will do it for next to nothing...Driving Style= Towing maybe 3 times a year ( 6-8k Load )..Im mildly bombed and pleased :(see sig )...as for the extra power, I NEVER launch hard from the line or "brake-stand", I dont really race either...I use my added power more for mid-power accleration, kinda like highway bursts...Mostly I drive pretty mild. DO YOU THINK IM OK W/ WHAT I WANT TO DO? is there maybe even something I DONT need to do??
(( This weeks prediction...Eagles 17 - Cowboys 10 ;D ))

Sounds just like what I've been running the last 150 000 km.
If this guy does his work right you shouldn't have any problems.
