well i would think the TR6060 wouldn't have a problem handling the power bc wthe GT500, the ZO6, the Viper, and i believe even the ZR1 ALL use the TR6060. ALL of them produce substantially more power than the SS. As far as the 6L80e, If its as strong as the 4L80e, we shouldnt have any problem with that either. In stock form they can handle north of 700 ft\lb's. The ONLY thing im worried about breaking is the diff or the halfshafts.

Heard the same thing, but Jimmy T says it is application specific. Anyone else have any info on what Tremec puts into/takes out of the trans for various manufacturers?

I would say the trans is fine, its the diff, I would be worried about.

Has anyone considered checking the G8 forums? We might get a better idea by checking some of their performance applications since its on the Zeta.

Cars with that kind of HP have been designed from the factory to handle more HP and torque.

I do think that there will be upgrades and the life of the rear depends on the application.
No shit im just trying to see how much I can get out of it. It doesnt hurt to find out just how far I can push it does it?? I'm one of those guys who will always want faster. I don't think this thread was for you.

I woke up this morning and just through of that lol. I'm more worried about having to replace that bad ass independent rear axle then the tranny which since its used in the corvette and all I don't think I will have a problem. Do you happen to have any links to any good G8 forums??

I know that one of the people there who was the first to put a TVS 1900 on their car has had no problems with the tranny for a while (I think it was installed in May) and they're pushing about 470 RWHP.

Very Funny. Thats why I bought a 1983 Firebird S/E 2.8 liter V6, it had 135hp, 10 less then the Trans-Am. Plus I ordered the WS6 suspension added Koni Gas shocks and 245/45/16" Comp T/A tires. The 50/50 weight distribution in the car made it handle like a Ferrari. BUT it had LOW torque.

Yes its the whole body. Exactly the same. Its not unusual if you think about it the trans am had the same exact F body. In this day and age it will be the G8 and the camaro that share the body. I'm going to a pontiac dealership on tuesday to test drive a G8 and ask a dealer about the rear axle.
