Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Transmission Upgrade

[SierraTango]

What would be a good transmission upgrade with the intention of towing?

Plans are to take care of the drive train first then add 50-100hp injectors. Aftermarket air intake and manifold horn. Slightly larger turbo, haven't gotten too specific on that yet.

I put the BD package on mine, trans, converter and flex plate. Always replace the flex plate, the stock will crack.
Am satisfied and had it done in Montana where there is no sales tax.

Any specific BD package? Stage wise etc..

Just the basic upgrade but their flex plate , its thicker. Their catalog give good hints on what to get depending on usage.
