Default Drive Line Upgrades?

My C5 is making 780rwhp with a LS3 and APS tt, i have a intake, maf, TB, and LG turbos for a little more(going on in the next month). Where should i start on the driveline? The clutch is a Textralia OZ-700 Z-Grip.
I plan on Texas Mile, some roll racing from 60mph, and the drag strip one time this year just to see what she will do.

DTE Powertrain makes a pretty beefy rear.

The rear is the biggie... The best solution would be the conversion TR6060 and the 6CZ06 differential... That can get a bit pricey... Roll racing I think the clutch will hold up ok... Might be time to start looking into to billet forks 3rd/4th in the trans if your going to be doing roll racing high MPH they are the guys you going to be whooping on.

I went to RPM for rear upgrades, ECS Trans Brace, RPS Clutch for me.

I'm considering going back to 18" as the R888 tire choices are better, Ive been considering tubbing the rear as well.

I won't be at near the power level you are, I don't want **** breaking & I want it connected to the pavement.
