HELP on rear diff question
Hi everyone,
I have a C6 2006 Z51 with a 427 built iron block, 2008 C6Z rear diff and a transmission. The rear diff and the tranny are stock but my question is what can I do to make my rear diff stronger "without paying a built rear diff"? for example I have one of my friend gave me a suggestion with the a diff brace and after market tranny mount. So what do you guys thinks? and I would love to hear from

Is that air under that front passenger side tire? With the stock rear end?

I actually started racing way back when I was 18 with my 1970 Chevelle but only did it sporadically since then until I got back into it hardcode with the Corvette.
In total I probably have at least 2000 passes on the car but have gone through 4 engines, 8 transmissions, 5 differentials and one torque tube in the process. Oddly enough though I'm still running my stock original halfshafts which have close to 90K miles on them now.

I bought the car brand new in February of 2007 and started racing with it in August of that year. My times so far have ranged from a 12.8 that night to the 9.950 I ran with it in December of 2009.

it looks like a long journey with a lot of experience specially the 4 engines, 8 transmissions, 5 differentials and one torque tube . Good luck man, thanx for that impressive history and I hope I can see my self a 9's guy
