My decision will be baaed on when GM releases the gears for public purchase, then if that happens i will go GM gears but with JRE posi mod and caps

2nd i was at thinking about 1le axles

But i dont see them being different other than cv joint size or able to handle higher hp being the 1le having the same 400 /426 hp engines as the SS

So i would go with 1000hp axles and alum driveshaft

The zl1 sways are on my list but i am looking to go pedder suspension parts

You are going to still need an install kit. Either from GM or Richmond or somewhere. I don't think GM offers one though...yet. I know I've seen them on most vendors websites in the gears section.

Here's my $.02 on the axles...

They'd have to be stronger. The torque multiplier just went from 3.46(?, not sure about manual, I have an auto which is even taller) to 3.91. That's a half point shorter! Maybe someone can chime in that can actually do the math, but that torque/hp was just multiplied by a heckuva lot more than stock, and GM obviously knows the stock SS axles can't handle that much multiplied power. The other thing to keep in mind is they are designed to be raced at the road course track, not casually driven to the mall.

Now we wait for GM to release numbers or one of us fools to buy them and run em til they break lol

Thats also a deciding factor at the time of gears being released, i guess i would go gm if also avail at order time


Agree road course specific and the need for improved cv's, i just dont see the shaft material being that much different
We will see..

The torq levels of the zl1 is what pushed the need for improved shafts all around
IMPO coming in at over 500 each

I would go 1000 hp for a bit more $$ over going zl1 shafts

I would go with an aftermarket install kit. I am a gm tech and gm diff shim and spacers can be a pain to get if you're in a hurry. They usually come in a pack of 10 in .001" increments. If the aftermarket would sell just the pinion and carrier shims I'd be set. The bearings can be reused if they are not damaged when they are removed.

I got the ring and pinion. I won't be able to install for a while. This car is my daily driver. I also have to wait for it to slow down at work.

I called the dealer and the part number is not on the price tape yet. have your parts guy go onto GMs dealer parts website and they can find them.

also just found out my price for them is 210. hahaaaa! now to see if the dealer will install them. :-)
