Hey guys so it's been a while since I've been on here, been working on my build. So my 2013 ZL1 just dyno at 712 rwhp. I have drag radials 315 Nitto NT05R on it now and the stock Tremec TR6060 6 speed tranny but I was wondering what is the average power number before the transmission/ clutch/ rear end start to fail? Im thinking about getting a full on drag package with different rims and slicks but I don't know what the stock rear end can hold. Any good info is appreciated

GM say's the tranny and rear end are good to 650, but you already know many have gone well beyond that.

Yea I'm already over that as well and heard of a few people up around the 1000 range still getting away with a stock tranny. I guess I'm more worried about my rear end and how much grip it can handle off the line. Shoukd I stick with the drag radial or can it handle some true M/T for a hard launch

You can beat on these cars until the 1000hp range like ZMEnow said.

Your clutch will be the weak point with that setup.
