We are at similar HP levels.

Let's see:

Broke the 10 bolt on Nittos
Broke the stock clutch on Nittos
Broke the stock DS on ET Streets
Broke the 12 bolt on ET Streets
Broke a U joint in a strange DS on ET Streets Damn 2 step!
Took out a SPEC S3 on ET Streets
Welded a SPEC 4F to the FW on ET Streets

I would look into upgrading the rest of the drive train. It's a matter of when not if.

Oh yeah, Took out the 3-4 shift fork and a few synchros on Nittos and ET Streets.

I'm a pretty damn good mechanic again

Damn Steve, I'd say so! I'll be at similiar levels soon. Already on my 4th clutch but stock DS and tranny, 3-4th is a little messy. 10-bolt with a T2R and cover has held up so far on Nittos and 400HP ( old setup ). A matter of when , well said.
