08 diff gear sets. Is anyone producing any?
Very interested in the ZR1 gearbox(TR6060) or possibly the Z06 variant, with the 08 diff but,...the 3.42 gear set,..is going to kill my possibilities of going higher then the low 200's in the standing mile. Is anyone that you know of, a vendor or anyone, planning on doing gears for these? I am interested in a 3.08 or even numerically lower. I know it's a shot in the dark but,..I am interested. If not, I need to rethink options.
Thanks.
(I did search-pulled nothing informative up)
I am not planning on going above 6500-6800 in the mile. 335/35/18 inch wheels...for the number crunchers.
Thanks.

Thanks bud,...got the power covered. I want to change the DIFFERENTIAL gear,...not the TR6060 gearset(I wantthe TR6060 trans with ZR1 gears but with a different diff gear-not a 3.42).
Thanks.
Anyone else?

My guys can build you a differential (base differential ring gear size non-Z06/ZR1) and use the following ratios.
2.56
2.73
2.93
3.15
3.42
3.73
3.90
4.10
The differential will be built to be a direct bolt in and fit the ZR1 TR-6060. It can also be built using a rear differential fluid cooler pump as well along with many other options.

the Z0 rear diff is bigger/stronger from what i have been told..
when you put gears in a z0 rear you have to put in a smaller carrier and basically makes the rear weaker..
that being said.. there are lots of cars going fast with base rear ends.

I will but, not for the street. I think it will be spin city, and not super useable. Not only that, I think I will run out of RPM with that trans and gear set before the end of the mile... in theory anyways. What, 203mph at that RPM?... in 6th? Not enough if I wanna do better then average in the standing mile. For the drag strip....I am with you!
My bad for the delayed THANKS,...been a lil occupied.

I`ve never done the gear math on a ZR1,...I am only going based on what I read on the internet,...of someone saying all they got out of a Zr1 was that speed,..at a higher RPM then I wanted.... shame on me for being an internet douchel(I am saying this jokingly not offensivly or defensivly) on the ratio/speed. However, I have done this math multiple times with my current gearbox and setup.
But,..since we're here now,... doing the math for that trans spec, and doing the math for my 18" wheels, @ 6500 rpms, I am looking @ 211mph with that gearbox and 3.42's ....

..am I not?
If soo,..thats just not gonna do it for me man. Not gonna go through this trouble to NOT go in the 220's. I don't see that happening with a 3.42 and that box.

Any as far as I know the Z06 diff can use 4.10's with the Eaton Diff Carrier that ECS sells (just using regular c6 gears).

I think better perfomance in the mile is ZR1, and its better for daily driving. You give up 1/4 mile performance
