Extra Drivetrain "Reliability"

Okay I have this dilemma. I've got a 94 and I love driving it, but I love racing it also. I want to race it often, but I'd also like to keep it on the road as much as possible. What I'm actually getting at is what else do you suggest I do for drivetrain "reliability"? Here's what's on it already. (that's relevant anyway)

- non-seq. turbos and supporting mods, 15psi
- 26x11.5 MT ET streets
- TII Diff
- PF Diff Cradle
- Exceddy Street Clutch (Just a little better than stock to my knowledge)


- Stock suspension
- 2step soon to come

If you have stock twins, your stock tranny will hold forever! You won't have problems till you go over the 600rwhp mark. Then you'll start taking out 3rd gear and snapping the output shaft.

I'd sure like this thread to continue though. I'm planning on racing mine with a stock rear end at 500hp and know there is tons of stuff to be done to the rear end/drive train for reinforcement so I can minimize the damage. What do you guys suggest? This is an fc by the way.
