Default Which torque tube couplings and bearings?

Going to install a new clutch and tr6060 over the winter. I think I should do the couplings and torque tube bearings while Im in there.

Which couplings should I get? Car will be supercharged while making close to 700 rwhp. I see there is OEM style rubber, poly and billet couplers. Which one should I get for my horsepower level? I do not want it to cause vibration or other road noise if I can avoid it.

What about bearings? I see RPM has torque tube bearings for 190.

What are my best options?

Thanks!

Got the entire rebuild kit from RPM transmissions. You can piece it together slightly cheaper if you look around, but I chose customer service over lowest price.

Hard to say for sure since I changed so many things at once. Pfadt motor mounts, Pfadt trans mount, new build entirely, etc. But with all that being said not a big noise increase with all those items.

I have a 2000 making 600rwhp. Have stock DS and couplers in until last season. Toasted my rear end at the strip so figured it was time to upgrade since everything was gonna be mostly apart. To my surprise everything looked great. I ended up keeping the stock DS and going with RPM Rebuild Kit (rubber couplers and bearings). No vibrations.

I went with solid motor mounts, solid diff mounts (have TR6060 and ZR1 diff) and a DSS Carbon Fiber shaft (eliminates couplers). Considering all that its not bad at all on NVH. Nothing I can really hear or feel over the sound of the motor.
