Transmission staying in first too long

The previous owner of my car did a $2,800 rebuild prior to me purchasing the car. Most of the $2,800 went towards labor 
and a $800 converter. But he did have a couple billet parts thrown in.
These are the billet parts in my trans: (My car runs low 11's)
I also threw in some other parts as well: ALTO carbon band, larger TV plunger & sleeve, hardened pump rings, stiffer pressure regulator spring, stiffer slide spring, boost valve, lo rev valve, harder 1-2 accumulator spring.
I spent about $500 on parts. Would have been much less if I didn't need a pump and drum.

- CK Billet Forward Drum (a must have if your gonna dual feed) $389.00
- Billet 2nd Gear Servo $89.00
- Billet Direct Piston $79.95

All I needed for my current build was a master rebuild kit, bushings, thrust washers, reman pump, and reman direct drum.

I am building one and had a few questions if the op doesn't mind.
The stiffer slide spring, was it the single or the double spring? I'm going with hard rings but staying with the stock 7 vane.
Which boost valve, and reverse valve are you using? I am leaning towards the .500 as it is cheap. And the 61% larger than stock rev boost(selling site doesn't list size). Also going with the stiffer spring.
Which 1-2 accumulator spring did you use? I am leaning towards a white one.
What about the 3-4 accumulator? I think I will be using the red one to start off with.
I am going with the stock width carbon band as I am using the drum that came out. Also have a used billet servo setup to use.
I don't have the brf vb/gov so I am planning to cut on the one I have and get the brf spring to put in. Will probably weld the nub on the weight to hold the spring in.
Tia. I can pm if we think this is to far off topic.
Single slide spring.
.500 boost valve and .296 rev.
Was gonna put a Sonnax spring for the 1-2...decided to just leave what the previous builder put in as I like the shift quality...same with 3-4...not sure of the exact springs as it was a "custom" shift kit
I also blocked off line bias with a 700r4 spring
