What else would i need for my 650rwhp build? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

How good are the ZL1 diffs and half shafts? Not sure on what diff to get because ive never built a 5th gen to this level before.

As a second thought, if you are going that far into the engine, why not stroker?

I beat the crap out of mine and no issues in several years of hard hits at the drag strip.

Didnt want to do a stroker wanted to just boost it with stock cubes and see how it goes. its never going to be over 800hp so there was really no point in stroking it. If i was going to go for 1000+ i probably would have done a 416 or something.

Being an M6 and with ported heads, you should have no problem hitting that. My fear is that you do not have enough injector.

LPW differential cover and set of toes also........ Axles should survive daily driving but not sticky drag radials/ drag racing and upping them to zl1 specs better. C5r timing chain, monster lt1s clutch and billet bearing support........

Thanks for the parts list ill add them also.

Ordered the LPW Differential cover and bushings for it. Trying to find some used axles now for it cant get new ones to cut down on costs for right now.

christianchevell · 07-30-2017, 09:01 AM

Yes it includes a additional pint of oil capacity in the cover and when swapping out be sure to get the additive for the rear oil if using stock gears.

What boost system did you go with? Your build is quickly headed to over $15k based on what you described so far.

diablo0730 · 08-18-2017, 04:54 AM

Taylor parts have already been ordered lol. Went with the LSA but been getting offers to trade for a big turbo kit.

what additive are you talking about?

pyroguy · 08-18-2017, 05:42 AM

Personally I would go with 85lb injectors over 63lb or 65lb. 85lb injectors combined with a ZL1 fuel pump should be plenty of fuel for this and future power increases. When reinforcing the rear end with upgraded half shafts be sure to get some new cradle mounts. Either solid or just upgraded is significantly better than factory and will help ensure that those new half shafts don't break as fast. I'm not exactly sure why you're pulling the M6 for a 3 speed auto unless you're planning on building a drag race only car and looking to have a trans brake, but if that's your goal then it makes more sense. Good luck with the build! I'm not as familiar with the TSP cam, but you should definitely be in the 650 rwhp ballpark, especially with the 6 speed.
