wel, you dont need the aluminum pan. some benefits are fluid cools faster, pan holds more fluid, has drain plug, and looks nicer. i dont know how much extra it is from them but stefs is only 100$. i dont rcommend it for the street only because it may get messed up from road debris. other than that, its more or less a personal choice of which you like more.
as for the brake, i sugest you just get the line lock. heres the run down on that.
line lock allows you to lock the front tires and do a burn out, hold the car at the line and rev up to launch, is alot easier on the suspension, and is fun. and cheaper. plus, you will need a line lock either way anyway. with the brake you have to watch tranny temp close since it causes the tranny to heat up real quick, lets you leave at higher rpm and harder but at the cost of the suspension, cost alot more, and cant just be used anytime you want to. most people dont get brakes unless the car is back halved or has serious suspension work. it will rip the trq. boxes off the car after a while. and break stock driveshafts and other parts. especially rear end stuff. so you will need the best parts to go with that brake.
you can get a trans brake at any time and the price will still be the same for it. and theyre easy to install. if you plan on making this car a great drag car then get it now. i like trans brakes myself but wouldnt use one on the street. just be sure to get all the right stuff that will be needed to handle it.
