Need suggestions for beefing up drivetrain.
What is everyone running and how has it lasted?
I'm looking at the DTE stage 2 setup with a hardened input shaft.Then top it off with the rear brace. Would love to get the stage 3 setup but it is so much $$.Right now I'm running the stock setup with no problems but the car should have 100+more hp next year.
Suggestions please

Stay with a stock Getrag Gear assuming your going to step up the power. I am trying the Getrag 3.73 now and its been holding but way to little time on it to say for sure.

Might as well do pre load springs, pinion shaft support and Timken bearing set while your in there.

Thanks guy's.
Haven't figured gears yet.I need something to help my 60's some more and have 2 options. 1-put in 3.73's or 2-put in Z06 tranny.I plan the car to go 138mph or so and want it to 60' in the 1.5's.
This drivetrain has to take alot of 1/4 passes with hard shift's
I'd rather buy once within a limit.

Help with your sixty...hahaha
Man, I can only dream of getting 60' time that your get now.
138mph ? Tire size? and max rpm you want to spin or make power?
With the 3.73 and 26x11.5 I recorded almost 6700rpm on a 137mph pass.
I think your hunting for a Z06 tranny, pop in the hardend trans mainshaft while its all out.

I know I could of hit 1.5's if the clutch grabbed sooner The car will be running the 305/35/18 Nitto's so I'll have to measure them.No problem running my new motor to 7000rpm through the traps though.If I get low 10's I might add a little juice to push it into the 9's
