I also ordered today the stage 111 diff from DTE with cryo treated gears and case, hardened shafts and all that goes with it. I also got there tranny brace. Without labor everything came to $5200. So I figure $6500 with install. This hurts because this was my head and cam money. I already have my race suspension, wilwood brakes and now driveline. It just amazes me how much I have into the car without ripping the engine open. I guess I love vette's more than I thought. GM can right anything they want in their computers because this car will never sniff the dealership again! by the way, since I have the strongest tranny and diff available on the market, I'M GOING 4:10'S THIS TIME!
Don't forget the LG CF driveshaft!!!

I was thinking of that but am already $6500 in. Do you think the driveshaft makes that must difference on the street? I am waiting for the AFR 225 heads with g5x3 cam and all the bolt ons. Hoping for 500 rwhp.
