Here are a few to get you going. Be sure to get overhaul/master install kits and not regular installs...

Open the FAQ's at the top of this modified area and look at the rpm charts in the drivetrain section. You will see that you really can't over-gear these jk auto's. (for a laugh, pick a ratio and tire size and compare an auto to a manual).
