You could do the viper upgrade and convert to 31 spline shafts.

How much power are you going to make with it? I would go with the following and add the viper mainshaft if making over 700rwhp:

Carbon Blocker Rings
Billet 3/4 Keys
Bronze Pads 1-4
Steel 3/4 Fork

That should hold about 700rwhp.

Thanks,
Amber

What she said!!!!!!!! I have one of their (T56rebuilds.com) T56's in my SS and I absolutely love it. Smoother and stronger than my OEM T56. You can't go wrong with one of their rebuilt T56's.
