Besides tranny issues, definitely do a compression check.

One very important thing that is needed is the proper ECU, piggyback, SAFCII to control the air, fuel, timing. You can't just slap a kit together and not have a plan on how it will all work together. Remember, if you don't have a proper tune, you will be spending money to rebuild the motor very soon. Also consider upgrading the stock fuel pump, maf and injectors; this will all depend on how much power you want to make, which translates into how much boost you will want to run.
