Its really according to how far you want to take it. You can do simple upgrade and keep the cost low, or you can go hardcore and buy all new internals with a new stall and all the goodies and get up in the $1500 or more range.

Beffin up the tranny is a matter of changing fatory parts to hardened aftermarket parts that can withstand the abuse from the increase in power. New gears, syncro's, valve body, stall converter, etc...

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
