08 Z51 Specs?
Having a hard time finding info pertaining to specs such as which 6spd tranny is in it, power limits on the drivetrain (rearend, tranny, clutch, etc.) Any weaknesses I should focus on? What about the motor? Whats the general reliability limit on these cars? It's currently making 446rwhp with a G5x1 cam and boltons, which Im fairly happy with at the moment. Just wanting to get an idea of how much I could really get out of this car and still daily drive it reliably.

ill bite
so we have the MZ6 tranny, its supposedly good to 500wheel, im at 650 (stronger clutch obviously) but other wise stock DT with no problems, c6dude402 has like 800rwhp and only changed the torque tube couplers and hardened output shafts. we both have 06+ vettes (the 05s have a weak diff) and we dont launch our cars, i simply roll on the trouble and its all good
in order the parts most likely to break are
output shafts on the diff
output shaft on the tranny
diff
drive shafts
tranny
torque tube
