T56 build up for lots of hp

OK guys, I need all your tricks and secrets for building a bullet proof T56 that will hold some serious power. Can a T56 hold a car in the mid to low 10s ? Tell me everything you recommend for a great T56 build up. Thanks guys!!

You'll definately need the larger Viper output shaft and corresponding Chrysler slip yoke. Otherwise you'll be forever snapping outputs, or twisting the internal splines of the stock 27 tooth arrangement. I've snapped outputs on a cam only 335 HP car.

Also,

If you want to go that fast, then weight reduction is your very best friend when it comes to driveline survival. You'll be way ahead of the game if you can lower ET's by taking off a few pounds versus adding more power(torque).
