350 rear wheel hp (if that's really where you're at) is in the neighborhood of 410 at the flywheel, give or take.

There are a ton of upgrades out there. If I remember right hardend 1st and second gears is one of first recommned upgrades. Try a google search I went down that path one night and 3 hours later I was not worried about may high miles T56 and near stock LT1. There is a lot of information on what fails when. Just remember to be conservative becasue it is a LOT cheaper to upgrade a good working T56 then it is to upgrade one that is spread out all over the street.

Yea that's was my other concern that no matter how many miles you have on it, it can be good it can be bad hard to tell without taking it apart but im not ready to do that yet driving wise it seems solid though
