question after engine mods?

ok i have ordered a TVS 2300, cam, and fuel system upgrades and wondering if the rear end is strong enough for the added HP and torque? If this car is anything like the vette hardened halfshaftes are a must. I have read through alot of threads and havent seen much if anything about people upgrading rear end parts. With that being said that doesnt mean that the rear end is strong enough just means that maybe no one has had problems yet.

Any info about this would be welcome cause i dont wanna have all the put on and snap anything in the rear end. I would rather get the upgraded parts for the rear end done while they do the engine mods.

thanks in advance for your input on this

depends if you plan on taking it to the track often, or just some spirited driving...youll probably be fine with the mods youre doing. might need a clutch if you have a LS3....depending on your driving

axles and clutch if a standard trans.

Axles at some point for an auto.

the rear diff is pretty strong and will take some abuse. It's not bulletproof, but seems to be OK for the majority. Very few failures overall.

Weak links are the axles and the bolts for the drive shaft.
