ok guys just curious if anyone could help me out here so i know what i need to do next.

I'm having TT put on the car and Meth
I have upgraded the clutch to a Monster stg2 twin disc.

I know my motor is the weak point cause of the pistons why i added the meth. Was just wondering what should i worry about in drivetrain after the clutch?
