T56's have a pretty strong input shaft. There's a local guy that has a 12 bolt and slicks and in a full weighted car drops the hammer all the time. Hell my 10 splined toothpick input shaft withstands 7000 rpm launches. You also could always preload the tranny to lower the hit on the shaft too. I used to do on when I was on DR's.

what do you mean by "preload the trans"? ride clutch out a little? you think i will be ok with a 3000 rpm launch on slilcks with a 125 shot? 85000 miles, stock clutch.
