20+ years of "Building 904/727 for drag racing use"

There are a lot of things that need to be known about the combination, but I'd typically recommend a 904 for a small block powered car that is lighter with smaller tires. A 727 will of course work fine, but it will be slower than a 904. My footbrake 727 in that car at that ET would go 1500+ runs before needing a freshen up. Freshen up intervals on the 904 would be shorter. The 904 would cost slightly more to build than a 727 for a 9 second car.

Obviously, the 727 can hold more power than a 904.

For conservative numbers we will build a 904 for 1000hp, and a 727 for 1500hp. The blue supercharged Challenger that used my 727 made more than 1500hp.
Chris, what would you consider the base modifications for a 904 going from stock to using a trans brake? Engine HP ~400, 3000#-3200# car.
