Chances are you'll strip the teeth off the gears again as a result of the pinion trying to climb up the ring gear on the launch. The case just doesn't have the beef to resist flexing which allows this to happen. 4.56 and lower ratios are famous for this since the pinion has very few teeth. Why don't I see any mention of aftermarket axles or at least c-clip eliminators in your list of parts as you're going to need them.
