Big HP EVO's & Drivetrain Upgrades

Hey I was just curious what some of the shops/individual owners were running on their cars drivetrain wise. Axles, Clutch's, Front LSD (for 03 & 04's), drivshaft, transfer case, tranny, different gearing, etc. I am just trying to come up with a strong setup for the track and more power next season (mainly drag strip). I have a general idea what guys like Al and AMS are doing but would be curious what the "Experts" recommend for 600 WHP + and the strip. Details on gearing, who built your stuff, and pro's and con's would be great.

Run what you have until it breaks!! Then buy Drive shaft shop front and rear axles...they are awesome and you name a car he makes a axle....even for 900rwhp cobras launching on slicks!!

*Shep or TRE trans with LSD thrown in for good measure.

*A ACT HD ($800), Exedy Triple Carbon ($2400), or Tilton ($$$$$$)

*That will set you back 5.5K plus install, plust you're choice of clutch.

*Good luck and AWD drivetrains are expensive!!

Anyone on different gearing? Also what does Shep charge for a face lift on an 03 tranny and t-case (nothing wrong with either).
