it’s fine at your power level. The diff is what you need to be worried about. My 3 rib broke drag racing @ 700+whp it was fine on the street though because street tires just won’t hold that so the tires spin and save the diff.

Ya I’m sure it will be fine however a 7 speed swap has so much more rang to it ! One day when the original gives out. I’ve been mentioning it to a guy I think he would be willing to take on the project ! The plasma cutter is available.

He can go to the drag strip. Just don't go dumping the clutch at RPM's over 5500 on a prepped track.

I've got a few complete TR6060 swaps including, newly built ZR1 transmission, built differentials, torque tube etc. Let me know if you're interested.

Your going overboard now. He can rev dump what he has now and it will be fine. Car is BUILT for fuel economy and reliability. With the new fuel management pro version it will cut timing if he gets too rowdy.

Sequential ratchet has crossed the mind once or twice lol But I think I have somewhat reached the limit. Half the stuff I will have to take off before smog or tuck it !

Next up I need these to make my 100mm maf fit along with Gm throttle body spacer with the vara yup still cranking it up ! Water injection pump unhooked I may not put it in ! Maybe I’ll list that not sure ! I’m looking into how much e85 will cool the intake if I hook it up to the sonic hyper nozzle lol I’ve been reading good things but haven’t found any live data .

I have a tuning tech guru we will make it work in sync we will trust me! I bet it’s all Linux based

Yes I am building for economy and reliability but it will go fast if I do choose to hammer down ! Drag racing is how people break cars . Although I considered joining the the NHRA just for kicks !

They don't want positive results from their tunes being posted on the internet to generate more potential customers for their shop?

No clue I didn’t get into the details but I love they will always be there for me when I need them that’s good enough for me . It’s a time consuming process watching 30-40 minutes of data Making the correct changes for it all until it’s perfect !
