Default Suggestions - 1k HP vette driveline for street/strip

My car put down 930 to the tire months back shaking down on the dyno and probably is closer to the 1k mark now after a vaccum pump and some tuning. This is a street car - full A/C and I like to drive it an hour plus on the weekends to the chesapeake bay.

I ran it at the track two weeks ago on street tires and scared the crap out of myself. I have driven 8 second cars, and am building a 7 second nitrous combo in my other car. This is a M6 vette with the stock 2005 rear. I have a ZR1 clutch, and I think the street tires have kept the driveline alive.

I would like to run 9's in the 1/4. Even a low 10 would be fine, I don't care as I have a race car already.

For a real street car, what tire combo on a Z06 wheel, what rear, and what other mods do you guys recommend?

ZR1 trans & rear with MT 345/35/18 you'll be ready for some mid9s with that power

Get rid of that 05 rear end before you put some tires on it. It WILL break. Other than that replace it as it breaks.

Even on street tires I'm amazed the '05 dif held. The minimum would probably be a stock TR6060 tranny w/ 30 spline output shaft. RPM has some nice packages if you want to build it up more.

Give us a call, I have some different ways that you can go. We have everything you need from front to back.

You will need a propshaft/couplers, trans/diff and axles with a stick car.
