Default What do I NEED to make the rear end live?

Looking at getting a blown Z06 soon, makes 850 RWHP. I most likely won't put any sticky tires on it, but I know if I do it needs some beefed up rear end stuff. It has a built tranny (6sp) now. I was thinking about getting the DTE brace and lingenfelter driveshafts, would that be enough? Or does the diff need to be built too?

Cubic dollars??

So it has a built transmission but a stock rear end ?huh?

Well, for highway roll on, you'll be fine.

Any sort of repetitive abuse; look at spending ~5K for a completely built up IRS rear.

Obligatory: Wheel hop = death.

Give RPM a call, he'll deck you out well. If you want to go thru me, let me know. I can get you everything together!

A diff brace and hardened output shafts will do wonders.
