S2Kfromhell kept breaking driveline parts. Playing with me, or shortly after as I recall, he broke his transmission case near the output shaft if I remember correctly. Stuff I don't have a clue how you could "beef up". That was on his 4XX whp street tune. Is there a way to actually bulletproof the S2K's driveline for any sensible amount of money (Say, less than a new Z06 or Viper or something that makes near that power with only light mods)?

There's really not much that can be done with the trans. A lot of guys that built their for drag swapped the trans out for something different. I ran the car with the AP2 trans for the most part, although I briefly tried out a dogbox. I think the guy that bought it from me actually wound up blowing the AP2 trans, though I never really had any issues, provided I was careful with shifting. I think a cryo treated AP2 trans would hold up pretty well.
The diff is pretty easy. There's a guy now that will reinforce the casing and cryo treat the gears pretty inexpensively. I actually had the diff from a 300ZX twin turbo mounted up on my build.
Realistically, it's never going to be as reliable as something off the showroom floor though. I spent most evenings tightening bolts and making sure everything was working right-- things most people don't really want to do with their cars. I didn't have the time to play with it anymore, which is how I would up with the Z.
