Post Getting 05 GTO ready to drag again.

It's been a few years since I last took my GTO to the drag strip. I'm wanting to do some maintenance and give the underside a full look over.
Things I want to do include

Transmission flush
Rear end flush
Tighten up shifter

I have an MGW-P shifter and an eaton trutrac with 3.70's. I know the Eaton requires little maintenance but I have had it in for nearly 40k.

Are there other things I should consider looking into?
Track time isn't until October but I want to be prepared. I will be launching on drag radials so I feel safer knowing everything looks good underneath. Thanks everyone.

Only other things I can think to check or replace are the motor and trans mounts, and rear wheel studs. Are they all up for launching with a stick on drag radials?

Thats what all needs to be checked. I haven't launched since I was Cam only a few years ago. Now I am making about 30whp more so even more stress will be applied. I'll be sure to have everything looked at. Thanks for the suggestions.
