Need more info...

Manual or automatic?
Rear wheel horsepower?
Nitrous/blower/turbo?
Street tires/drag radials?

You might want to consider a hardened output shaft.

If it is an auto trans, I would drop the pan and change the filter.

Also here are two good websites for you:

Good luck with your upgrades.

Since you listed everything but the trans.You might also want to consider upgrading to a Z06 rear and possibly flywheel clutch assembly if you have a M6

I already had the rpm stage 3 rear end but I had a whine so they are going to change it out for me. I had the 3.73 gears and I am going to go with 4.10 now.

I have 605 rwhp and m6.

I meant anything else to tranny or any other bushings around that area.

How about upgrading the transmission mounts?
