Default T56 Magnum Kit - Help

I am about to order a T-56 Magnum kit from Hurst Drivelines... seen here:

http://www.hurst-drivelines.com/inde...d=49&Itemid=57

I have a 69 Camaro with a 700R4 auto tranny (and console)... so I know I am going to be needing the Elite kit. Im just curious as to what optional components I am still going to need with it.

I have a GM crate 350 right now (330hp/380tq), but the reason I am going with a T56 Mag is bc I plan on dropping in a 468 or 496 here in a yr or so (500-600 rwhp).

Looks like I am going to need the SFI scattershield and obviously the pedal kit... but anything else? I see the Elite kit only comes with the clutch kit up to 500 hp, so Im guessing I should go ahead and upgrade to the Strip Comp (625 hp rating) or the Racer Comp (700 hp rating)? What are the advantage of sticking with mechanical linkage? Hydraulic clutch kit? Anything I should just order separate from somewhere else?

Thanks guys... hoping to order here in the next day or two, so quick responses are appreciated!!!

One thing is I bought the car and it has long tubes already installed... not sure if they are AUTO-only, so Im guessing its a good idea to go hydraulic?

Anyone who has done an auto-to-manual conversion?

Talked to Jim a few times and got everything lined out... should be a killer setup! Great experience with Hurst Drivelines so far... hope to have the tranny installed in the next month or so.
