Default How to beef up the t56

I just finished my engine a couple week ago. I had the trans rebuilt a couple months ago and a syncro just went mia so its being covered by warrenty. Question is while their trearing it down should I have them cryo dip the gears? Also should I upgrade to the carbon syncro rings? I'm putting just over 500 to the ground and about 470 torque. I plan on spraying a 200 shot too. So what can be done to make sure this tranny doesnt break?
Thanks
Steve

Billet Keys, Carbon Blocker Rings, Steel 3-4 Fork, Bronze Fork Pads are just some of what I would upgrade with that kind of power.

Thanks,
Joe

You could always have the internals cryo-treated

I am also interested in this topic. I will be shooting for 550 to the tires N/A and I want to build the trans. I have gotten some good info already, but am always curious for more.. Considering I don't know much about building manual transmissions.
