I don't think anyone is making them for the c6z dif yet.

Most places use a C6 dif and upgrade some of the internals IIRC

Bump for another person from York, there are a few of us on here:fartpipe, and yrkz06

I thought the raìon de'tra of the 7 litre motor was that it had enough TQ and powerband to get from 0-60+ in 1st gear (saving 0.5 sec or more).

Having just come from a GTO with 4.10's back to 3.46...

Car feels less peppy but its nice to not work through the gears so much while cruising.

10-4! I have 3.90s in mine, also from RPM! Great guys to deal with. Give them a call.


CORRECTION: 3.73s. Just checked the receipt lol. All this time I thought I had 3.90s LOL. It pulls as if it had 3.90s! I'm kinda glad I don't. I cruise over 2200 rpm at 70 as it is!

As far as I know, no one makes a gear set(3.73, 3.90, 4,10, etc) for the large ring gear used in the Z06 differential. GM did produce 8 Z06's in 2006 that had 3.63 gears. Don't think they ever offered the 3.63 gear sets for sale through their parts dept.

you have to go with the c6 diff, but well worth it and RPM puts the good stuff in it, people going well in the 1.30s 60 foot without any problems.

400-450 rwhp cars are known as drivetrain breakers.... People drive them too hard trying to make them fast.

500+ rwhp cars rarely break becuase you have to finess the car to make it work.

This has come from years of working with C5/C6 drivetrain.

We have over a hundred of C6 diffs in C6 Z06 cars. I personally have a 3.90 in my Z. We have a very low number of them come back broken, and those that do know they were abusing the differential.

If your post was to contradict my post, then you are mistaken. The RPO code for the 3.42 is GU6 and the RPO for the 3.63 is GM8. In 2006, 8 Z06's were produced with the GM8 RPO. Look it up for yourself in the 2006 production numbers published by GM.

how would you rate your stuff at the drag strip in durability. the reason i ask i because my last vette (bolt on LS3) couldn't make 6 consecutive passes without breaking the DSS junk that i had in the car. heck a few times they didnt last the first pass or two, but i never broke my stock rear lol funny isnt it. It would always break the short shaft in the rear...would shear it perfectly clean and striaght every time. please dont use auto car as examples also.
