Getting parts that hold up to more than stock does not necessaily equate to being more reliable. There are reasons those components hold the tolerences they do and it is to make sure other components do not fail because of them, i.e. it is a lot cheaper to replace a clutch than an entire transmission, hence it is the part designed to give before the tranny gets damaged. When you go replacing certain parts with 'bulletproof' race style parts you make the next, probably more expensive part bear the load. We have some forged internals and other goodies to help, but just be careful with how much clutch you put on it in the name of reliability if you will rarely ever race the car...
