I asked Andy Green that same Question when he installed a forged LS3/L92 427 in my 05 Z51 6sp. His answer, knowing that the car was a daily driver and never going to the track, and would always run street tires; Don't worry it woun't break. With 525rwhp/500rwtq the car is severely traction limited. Now if I got stupid and put DR's on and the car hooked, then I think the entire drivetrain would be in the street. It's a 3rd and 4th gear road car.
