The stock IRS carrier itself might last a while if you do the proper suspension components around it and use some stronger axles.

So if you want to track it..... You will need 18 inch c6 zo6 rims (17 inch bogarts are optimal but pricey) with good slicks to match. Aftermarket axles, lower control arms and poly dif mounts at minimum. Aftermarket clutch eventually.

And like I said...dont just do a cam only. Throw on a set of ported heads as well. They are only around 1000 bucks from tsp and show over 30hp gains. You will want to port your intake and TB as well. Or splurge and go with a fast 102/102 set-up. I just know from experience....do it all at once and save yourself time and money. If you do it later its more time tearing it apart again. If you do it later it is more money for a re-tune.

then again...maybe im just weird
lots of good info thanks, ya my shop already said i should do some heads also. i do not track. and i do not launch my car at all.. i have already have broken something doing that with stock setup...

so you think i am fine, with a cam and heads.. only time i every will be under WOT is when is when i am rolling... i never do from a dig racing

again i am not looking to track, just want a fun street car, and of course bragging rights
