From reading on US forums, a lot of people say that slicks are actually easier on drivetrain components. Sidewall flex is much greater so a lot of the impact is taken in the tyres rather than gearbox, diff etc.
Depending on how hardcore you are talking I would get the trans rebuilt by MV as that has proven it can take the punishment. 450rwkw and 10.3 second quarter on slicks so far in a turbo crown. I don't know exactly what they do to upgrade them though.

Pfft, high 12's. Go low 11's!
For high 12's you should be right with a shift kit and stally rather than fullhouse rebuild. No doubt the upgrades wouldn't hurt but I don't think it is a necessity.
BTW I am racing in super street also because I don't fit into Sport RWD in sport compact
