Give it a little more than a half hour for people to reply ;). As for your question, I don't have any suggestions, but I can tell you when you ask a "Which is best" type question, if you give six options, you'll get at least six different opinions. Your best bet would be to do research on the kits your interested in.

The only big difference between Kits is the qaulity if soiliniods , I like the NOS brand kits but havent really heard of anyone having problems with others . Make shure if your comparing prices check the size of all components , it really changes the cost , that way its apples to apples /

I was going to suggest getting your trans done first. But I see you had some work done to it already. Like Trent mentioned. I would look at the solenoids first in the kits. The bottles are pretty standard, the wiring is mostly all the same. Oh, I forgot. Determine what type of controller you want to run, and how many stages. And if you can find a forum for the specific companies you are considering, definitely read up and see if they show a lot of complaints on quality.

i should have been more specific.. i want to know who has tried what, and how it worked for them, (such as brands and jet sizes)

On my last truck ('05 LLY), I ended up putting together a kit. I already had plenty of bottles and misc. lines and fittings, so it was kind of a no-brainer. Even if you're starting from scratch, I think I'd recommend putting together a kit yourself. Most kits I saw came with a bunch of additional crap you don't need (or want) anyhow. Cheap wiring and relays, crappy plastic bottle brackets, etc. I used a NOS Cheater N2O solenoid (#16000) and a single fan-spray nozzle. I think I had a .070 jet in it and it cleaned up the smoke quite nicely!
