what can be done to it (short of replacing it) to beef it up?
cryo treating the gearset maybe?

I know of a couple that were cryo-treated but those guys were relatively easy on their cars anyway, so who knows if it helped. Other than that I don't know what else can be done. Most people concentrating on the diff and axles. When the guys making the big power start going through trannies, some better solutions will become available
