You probably don't want TCI (as it's know around here as Total Crap Incorporated). But why would you want to spend that kind of coin for a transmission? What's wrong with the one you have? What are you trying to built that requires such a specific 1st gear ratio? Why not just build your own? They're EASY!!!!!

Alum drum for a mild street car with a 904. Sounds like overkill to me.
You don't want or need an alum drum in a street car. That is an all out race part.

Agreed
Find out who the local racers use for there stuff if you don't want to do it yourself. They are VERY easy to rebuild.
Get a good transtar kit from one of the trans house distributors (bulkpart, makco) and a tf-2 kit and your ready to roll. Parts are usually about $200ish.

Can you guys suggest a rebuild kit for the trans and good shift kit for the valve body?
Give John Cope at CRT a call (He is a sponsor here) tell him what the trans is going to be used for and he will set you up with the correct parts for your application.

It states "clutch hub" = aluminum.... not direct drum, besides ANYONE who's priced an aluminum drum for a torqueflight knows that the price of an alloy drum is pretty close to the price of that entire trans. Personally, I don't think a $1000 "trans in a box" is a bad deal. Can you build one cheaper....duh! Of course you can, but I bet this one bolt and go knowing TA's history.
CRT web site shows a "stock" 904 at close to $700, the next one up the line good for "500hp on the street" for $1450. Call me crazy, but neither of these prices sound bad to me either, and once again, you can pretty much bet you take it out, install it, and go.... no fuss, no muss!
