Tranny Blew. Help Needed!
Well today my tranny blew 
I hit NOS in 2nd gear and around 4000 rpm i felt the gears griding and there went my tranny for sure. Any suggestions on what I should do while i'm gonna be replacing it? If i'll have enough money ima get a new flywheel and clutch. Recommendations?

Get a good solid tranny and have it rebuilt before putting it in. Worn bearings can lead to gear blowouts. If you find a good tranny shop have them shim it a few thous tighter for better shock absorption.
Do not put a stiffer clutch in than necessary. Do some research and figure out what what you need - any stiffer becomes unnecessary driveline shock that will shred gears again.

Lol Its really funny how everyone here is a smartass. Im asking suggestions on what kind of flywheel/clutch i should put it and people are bein completely useless by asking questions why do you have nos? wouldnt you know what to do since you have nos? Read the name of the thread, it has nothing to do with NOS. If you dont have anything useful/helpful to say dont say anything.

Just replace or rebuild the transmission, make sure all the bearings are good. and keep spraying 
maybe lower the shot a little if your worried about it hurting it again.
I dont really understand your question?

Your question has already been answered. Get your hands on a decent tranny and have it rebuilt--have them shim the bearings a bit tighter, and make absolutely sure they shim the diff bearings. From there go for only the clutch that you need, nothing more--crazy gripping clutches will increase driveline shock, as dgeesaman stated. Go ahead and get a fidanza if you want, it'll pull harder in first and second.
