Any suggestions would be great but need the shop to be within reasonable driving distance as this car is developing all the time and I will need tunes and dyno for these changes as they come.

ok first of all wow.. and ya you prolly need a tune my uncle has a zo6 vette with 488rwhp and he moved from denver CO down to dallas TX and the altitude change made his car run like crap... but as soon as he got it tuned it was back to normal if not better!!!! and did i hear u mention that thats a dailyDriver??? are you kidding me?? is that even safe?

Lucky SOB · 04-06-2010, 09:55 PM

is it fast?

jrpxxii · 04-06-2010, 11:05 PM

I guess it depends on what you consider fast, but a 9 second car is pretty fast to me......LOL

Ok, so I am new to the 2010 Camaro so bare with me, I am not new to Camaros, not in any sense. I had a 98 Z28 with the LS1 and the T56 6-speed tranny, and I remember those trannys were pretty weak as adding more power to them. I know that GM switched trannys, and they are using a new 6-speed but with all of that power you are putting to it, is the tranny going to hold or do you need to replace some internals? I haven't seen specs yet on the new 6-speeds but I was curious, I haven't seen anyone really touch the internals of the trannys yet. Just curious on everyones thoughts on this.

jrpxxii · 04-09-2010, 11:57 AM

So far no issues with tranny as axles and driveshafts are the first weak points. I have outlaw racing axles, carbon driveshaft and 35 spline spool in diff. Only time will tell what the limit is, but nobody has had any problems yet.
