I've heard the stock c6 z06 stuff is fine, i had a 2005 diff in mine that grenaded too and when it broke I went straight to RPM and got their level V c6 z06 diff and transmission.
at ~700-800whp for ~2 years without issue, although I don't drive the car that hard and haven't tracked it. if you've got the budget may as well just get the RPM stuff and never worry about it again

I have a complete 2.56 diff out of a 300 mile wrecked c6 corvette (automatic)

I'll sell it for 500 shipped if anyone needs it.

I'll have a z06 tranny for sale soon. Great time to grab one cheap to go with a c6z diff since you need the tranny too.

My old '05 diff just cracked and leaked fluid and I was able to drive it home from the track. But I had a brace which is probably what kept it from exploding like OP's. After that I put a C5 diff in for a while but then I snapped the output shaft on my T56 so I swapped to an '08 Z06 setup, torque tube to diff. I should get a brace for this setup too but haven't as of yet.

Differential Carnage

Finally got around bringing down the exhaust & this is how the rest of the differential looks like. I also found out that the previous owner put a brace on it. Seems like the differential is stock with 3:42 gears but nothing from the inside was damaged & only was the case (that's what it looks like).
