the kit is more than good enuff for 500 hp.  I am not familiar with the inventory of the kit, but most of them do not come with the reverse band.  Make sure your kit is correct for your year of transmission.

For the money, I'm not impressed with the MP kits. You can get better quality parts for less money from Makco:

The best parts aren't going to perform their best without a good reprogramming kit, the TransGo TF-2 is the best bang for the buck.

Get a rebuild kit from Mancini.  Tell them your application and they have the stuff you'll need.

In regard to the Makco list, the Raybestos flex band is a good choice; rigid bands are getting harder to find.

The #12410 switch isn't a normal rebuild part, replace only if missing/damaged.
