Exclamation T56 Trans.... What Are The Weak Points?

I have an 02 Camaro Z/28 SLP. i re did the motor this winter and now i got a 383 LS1 hopefully close to about 600-650HP..... Now my question is what parts in the T56 Trans do i need to replace to handle the power????? I want to stay with the stock Gear Ratios and the 6 speed but also dont want to spend a million dollars...... Thanks for your help.

slider keys, shift forks, and blocker rings are the major ones i believe

Should be fine on shafts but if you're worried upgrade to the Viper main shaft for added protection

If I ever upgrade my trans this is where I'd do it:

It's a great price and you don't have to worry about screwing something up doing it yourself. Even if you don't rebuild through them it gives you a pretty good list of what parts to put in.
