Get a rebuilt T56 with steel shift forks and your good to go.

A performance rebuilt T56 as mentioned above will do the trick. I bought one of these rebuilt (form a non-site sponsor) for my rear mount turbo LT1 which dynoed 498 RWHP /579 TQ and have had 0 issues with it, but I also don't race it or do many hard launches. I'd expect the LS1 T56 would be the same.

B&B rebuilt my T56. Tranny locked in 4th gear and that was all she wrote. I now have a steel 3-4 shift fork and other goodies in there.
