Default Drive line upgrades?

My C5 is making 780rwhp with a LS3 and APS tt, i have a intake, maf, TB, and LG turbos for a little more(going on in the next month). Where should i start on the driveline? The clutch is a Textralia OZ-700 Z-Grip.
I plan on Texas Mile, some roll racing from 60mph, and the drag strip one time this year just to see what she will do.

Get a rear to trans bracket from RPM. And a harden output shaft on the rear. And hope for the best. I am getting all the parts up now to do a C6 Z06 rear cradle and all with a RPM stage VII A4 trans in the car. I will have it all put in by the end of feb for the warm weather. Good luck with your set up man..

Remo, I've been through the driveline thing many times and have broken many expensive parts. My journey started out with what I thought was some stout DTE parts, but they really couldn’t hold up. Besides the fact the parts didn’t perform, I have to say, the customer service left me never wanting to go back

It wasn’t until I talked to the Awesome Boys (TJ and Rodney) over at RPM Transmissions when I realized I found what I needed. The absolute nicest, most knowledgeable and caring racers around... A jackpot! I'm not just blowin smoke, if you ask anyone on here that has used them and they'll tell you the same thing... After a few of their setups I ended up with what got me the world record 6 speed title... The RPM Built TR6060 trans and the rear cradle and diff built from an 09 ZO6... I've abused them on many passes all the way down to a 9.25 @ 154MPH with a 6 speed with NO issues… In my opinion that’s a major testament to what RPM stands for!

So if you want the proper no BS advice and want it from the "best of the best" call these two...

http://www.driveshaftshop.com/domest.../chevrolet?p=2 ask for Frank

http://www.gmhightechperformance.com/ ask for TJ

Anyhow, Take a look at some of my old parts before I got smart and went to RPM Transmissions and The Driveshaft Shop for axles, stubs and driveshaft…
