Yes, I will have to say its too weak for that kind of shot. A friend of mine has a vette putting down 417rwhp and TTPerformance recommended upgrading his torque tube, which he did. *edit* Another friend had 440rwhp and upgraded as well. You will be at or well over these hp marks. You may get away with not upgrading for a few shots on the highway, but its always a good thing to keep your dad's vette out of the shop, a pretty important detail. I recommend waiting to do it right.
Also, badass Camaro and time!

You will be well over that hp mark. But, I would think it also depends how hard you plan on driving it. If your gona be launching it at the track and hittin the spray freely then I would say definetly a torque tube upgrade. If your using spray on the highway maybe you can get away with it a few times.
Its def good to keep your dad's vette out of the shop though, a pretty important detail. I recommend waiting to do it right.

it would be for emergencies. i would use it if i was starting to loose a race, and i only use the car a few days a week, and probably would use a shot or 2 a week.
my old man only uses it every once in a while also, and my mother hates the way he drives, so he would only use it if he realy realy had to.
pretty funny tho, my 60 year old father wants me to put spray on the car. lol
its not that i dont want to "do it right" or cant afford it, but i have a race car, i dont want to start ripping apart my street car, killing drivability ect ect.
i may just hold off. we may trade it up for an 07 anyway

^^ First off thats funny as hell, 60 and wanting spray 
But yea I would keep the spray off and streetable. Stock clutch and torque tube is asking for trouble. Go for the 07!

We have poeple all over here in Flint and Detroit running stock clutches and spraying 125 - 150 shots. The torque tube is not the issue its the couplings on the driveshaft inside the tube that could be, but this is only if you are hammering it all the time. If this is the occasional spray you will be fine. I have a 04 ZO6 thats 502 RWHP with a stock clutch and rear end and have zero issues. But then again I'm not abusing it either. I just bought Daves plate and I plan on running a 150 shot. I'm more concerened with the output shaft than I am the clutch.

I would say you would be OK on that stock Z06 clutch.
A procharged vette I did is still rolling on a Z06 clutch with quite a few miles of abuse - 530 rwhp on street tires.
Eventually you will want to upgrade.

The clutch is the weak link, however, you'll get by for a while. The Textralia is just like stock but can handle the extra power. I have over 160 passes from 100/165rwhp on all stock running gear except the clutch (and many on stock clutch). My clutch was fine when changed out and is in a heavy f-bod that sprays and going strong. Now with that said, on run approx 16x on a normal 5500rpm clutch dump on freash sprayed track running 315 BFG dr I finally broke the left side long output shaft. Mnay, many, many run 100/150 dry/wet shots on stock Z06's, it can handle it fine, except clutch will eventually give out if you launch hard and stick fairly well. Spray that bad boy and have some fun. Noyzee, you know we speced the PRO Dry kit just for the lsx/y-bod platform, so...
Example, a bud in his Z06 running a 100dry on everything stock except tires runs 11.4x and has hurt nothing.

I went a whole season on the stock clutch without issue. I upgraded this off season to a spec 3. Torque tube isn't a weak link. The output shafts and the diff case itself seems to be what goes with over 450rwhp...
