I have lots of used T56 parts including tailhousings etc if you need some stuff from my pile o parts.

It is uncommon for a mainshaft to twist/bend the splines.... unless it was used in a high HP drag application. It is not uncommon for tailhousings to get damaged. You could upgrade to a larger spline mainshaft and bore out the existing tailhousing.... however the 30 spline Viper shafts are on national backorder.

We have used a Stage2 built T56 (stock mainshaft) behind an 1100rwhpturbo LS car that sees 1/2 mile racing mainly.... it doesn't launch hard and has been driving without issues for 4-5K miles. McLeod RXT clutch is totally streetable.
It went 9.20@162mph launching off idle. It now runs a T56 Magnum and has a bigger turbo with 250rwhp+ more potential simply because he wanted a smoother shifting trans.
