Blew my diff using launch control

Last night I blew my differential using launch control. I have a MT stingray with stock power levels. I know the spider gears are weak links and that’s what I think failed. I wanted to know if there was much of a difference between the z06 and stingray e diff and if it would fit onto my car. If not any advice on how to repair this and make it stronger so this won’t happen in the future would be appreciated.

Do you still powertrain warranty? With stock power this rare.

So now to answer your real question as I am sure you know when your warranty was up .....

I am sure you have found out as many already have , axle hop is not your friend as it will instantly take out the spiders
There is a 4 spider gear conversion but you might be better off going with a wave track , just depends on your hp level, tires you are using and your goals , occasional drag strip ?

Do a search on ad there are many threads on this
