Default RE: Spring Upgrades

As you can see from my “siggy”, I currently have the A&A Vorctech V-3with the T-trim and a tad over 600whp. This spring I will be doing some upgrades to max out the 825hp that this head unit should support. I should be looking at making around 700 – 740 whp through the M6 when all is said and done.

I’ve talked briefly with the shop that’s going to do the work, but I wanted to get some other opinions here, especially from those who have similar set-ups.

Initial plans are to port the stock heads, pulley down to the 3.4” 6 rib, go with “Alcohol Injection Systems” c6 kit.. (chose this one because it has a larger tank... almost 2 gallons and it fits in the rear compartment out of sight), Aeromotive intank pump and fuel controller. Pump will support 1000 FI hp. RPS Twin carbon clutch, rear diff and trans brace and forged .408 stroker internals and mild blower cam. The original block only has 26k miles, so decided to keep it. I also plan to do a full Z51 brake upgrade front/back, which will include steel braided brake lines and changing the front caliper pistons to stainless steel.

A few questions I have are, will I need to have a "built" tranny and rear diff? I’m thinking the c6 diff should be good, but perhaps I should change the output shaft?? I won’t be tracking the car, but I can see some highway roll-on’s in its future.

I plan to start buying everything at the end of next month. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
