Default need advice for a hard launch set-up

Need advice or combos to BULLETPROOF the driveline on a bolt on m6 c-5 for 305/35/18 dr's.
I already know I'm going with the Textrallia clutch, but what about the axle stud, IRS bushings/brace and the other ****.
I wanna be able to launch it at 5 or 6k rpms and powershift all day long for a long time. What do I need?
Any help appriciated.

How much power you got? Is there a such thing as "bulletproof"?

2 years of kicking the crap out of my H/C 4.10s car and only a bent driveshaft for me. Cartek clutch/4.10s/output shaft, all else is stock.
