ZR1 Diff questions??
I am in the process of getting a ZR1 tranny and diff setup for my C6! I know the trans is fine but what about the diff...should I go ahead and have the hardened shafts installed or is the stock shafts strong enough for some heavy duty dragstrip action! I know it would be best to but money is starting to get tight here around Xmas time LOL!
BTW if anyone is interested I will have my trans and diff for sale soon!

Send a PM to Rick@RKT56, he knows everything about that those tranny and rears. Those rears are indestructible!!! The materials used are better then the standard and Z06 rears.

Although the differentials are strong, nothing is bulletproof. As hard as you launch, the new 300M shafts would be a major upgrade. 
Or if money is a concern, just run it until it breaks and then replace both. It's possible that you may not see breakage. ( According to Murphy's Law, breakage occurs at the most inopportune time.
