We believe that they are a waste of money. The bolt-on C5Z had 4.10s, was launched at 6,000 rpm on DRs, and cut mid 1.4s without issue.

Average cost of repairing a broken trans/diff assembly is over $3,000 and we have seen many over the years. Whether the insurance is worth it or not is up to you.

I know alot of small stuff adds up but the diff in cost and time of a break down. It is worth it...Robert
