Default Going to attempt a pass this saturday w/new setup

OK OK!!!!! Everyones been picking at me to go to the track so. Enough is enough.... I'm going to see what i can do to get the car down to the track saturday for a couple shake down passes at full weight and see what we can shake out of it. I'm worried about the clutch and driveline but my guess is the clutch wont hold and it'll be my final straw before ripping it all apart. Temps look like their going to be in the mid to upper 80's at cecil county dragway. Hope I can find someone with a trailer to come down

For those that dont know the combo:
Raceweight is going to be 3420lbs
4.10rear gears
6spd 2005 C6 trans
Spec twin PT clutch
Iron 6.0L block 410ci
TFS 235 CNC heads milled to 11.8:1 compression
Pat G cam 247/251 624/624 on 112+2LSA
Fast 90mm ported intake ported 90mm TB
Vararam
SLP 85 MAF screened
ARH 1 7/8 headers 3in off road xpipe
SLP loudmouth
Stock suspension
CCW polished drag pack with 28in Hoosiers 17in frt runners
538rwhp/484rwtq

I hope nothing comes flying out either. I have a wopping 1400miles on the car since together. It has some issues still but Hoping nothing that effects it running at the track.

I can't afford to break anything honestly but my credit card says hey bring it on it loves me. Here comes chapter 11.

You need to get a stage 4 DTE and some C5 Z06 axles.

No, c5 Z06 axles are stronger than the c6 axles, a lot of people do the swap.

Yea c6 Z06 axles are junk compared to C5z axles. I also have a stage 4 DTE diff in my car with a stage 3 tranny so naturally 4 days after I get it the pilot bearing went out and screwed up the clutch/flywheel.
