Was "Torque Management" or "Launch Control" removed? If so yours is the second rear end that I have seen on this board which has gone "pop" after such programming. The other one was zippin zee I believe.
Or was it wheel hop that caused the failure?

Yea i had LS2 Edit done with the torque man mod but it was the Wheel Hop that did it, it was my fault i guess! 
Napierville is about 70 Miles from me in Burlington V.T, it's only like 10 miles after you pass the Border on I87 into Canada.
As Far as Tracks, It's one of the whose ones i was at But its close by.
MODS ARE,
Ls2 Edit
B&B Bulletts
Stinger with Cool Air Thingy
& A Short Shifter
its pretty stock nothing yet, i wanted to buy headers this week but now i gotta buy a rear, THere goes that money!

12.5 at 118 with just those mods and you only got in one run after rolling in from off a 70 mile road trip. Who knows what it may have run had it not broken and had a chance to cool down.
Sounds like it was just some bad luck and you didn't get out of the throttle in time when it started to hop.
Did it break on the launch or on the 1-2 shift?

Yeah that time is not bad at all for the mods, especially if it was on stock tires (assuming it wasn't drag radials?).
That was Cartek Racing's post about the stronger '06 rear, you can give them a call as well for they also specialize in building strong C6/C5 rears, theirs have held up quite well in some gard racing conditions.

Also, if it was wheel hop that did it, be sure to check the transmission case and tranny output shaft for damage as well.

My housing also split in half. They have a problem. And I truly believe they should correct it. It is evident that they knew they had a problem when the C6 was introduced or the fix for the 2006 models would not already be incorporated in to those cars. They tried to correct it by stealing HP and torque from our cars with Torque management but when you unleash the beast or encounter wheel hop the weak link breaks.

how much should the install cost me on this one?
i'm gonna make some phone calls today & see what i'm going to get, but i think it will be the 4.10s
what's the downfalls of 4.10s?
and whats the plus of them? vs 3.42s?
