Any parts to Bullet Proof a 700r4?

I have a 383 that is on the edge of being running, all I need is pushrods, msd ignition, and headers. I need to know what parts to use to make a bullet proof 700r4 to handle mid 11's in the 1/4 all day long and a few 10 sec. passes on Nos. Or would I be better off going with a th400 or t56?

I guess I should add more than that...I really wouldn't bother trying to beef up the 700r4 because it's just not worth it...it would probably cost you the price of a new 4L80e which still has overdrive, but is strong as a TH400...if I wasn't so broke, I'd probably be doing a 502/4L80e swap instead of a 383/TH350 swap

actually a T56 would be more fun and it's strong as hell, too...so whatever works for you
