What can you do to Strengthen Drivetrain?

I was just wondering what elese I can do to make the drivetrain stronger. I've already got the engine torque brace, solid motor mounts, rear diff brace, all bushings replaced except pillow ***** but they're coming this month. after that what is there. I just wanna be able to launch decent and shift good without cracking tranny cases or power plant frames and stuff. Also want to get bigger sway bars to try to keep it from twisting, is there a difference between the HKS sway bars and the eibach?

I think he's talking drag racing, not cone dodging

I wouldn't do too much strengthening/stiffening as it can have a negative effect when everything is too rigid.There needs to be a degree of give as the loading has to transfer somewhere it can still end up breaking components.
You have plenty of strength with your set-up.

Then you should explain to him he won't want stiffer swaybars for that...
