Default rs500 gearbox help

can anyone help? my standard gearbox is on the way out, i have another standard one to put on but i do not think it will last long, i am running about 400-450bhp, i was thinking of a quaife gearkit? as i have uprated the diff to quaife, can any advise me on any other options? , or do you know if these kits are any good, thanks, sideways500
