Default How much power does the C6 corvette drive train handle

Looking to buy a good modding platform and was looking at 05-08 c6 Vettes with the LS2 but could I do FBO cam ported heads with out worrying about drivetrain?? Thanks

Without boost, there’s nothing you’re gonna hurt on that car that you couldn’t hurt stock.

My last LS3 C6 made 600 rwhp and even more torque on the stock engine. It's quite common and easy to do as with a good tune will last a long time. My clutch was starting to slip after about 25k miles but mine was a TVS2300 so the torque was all but instant.

I would stay away from the 05 due to the weak differential. And look at the 08 better trans ls3 better differential would save you money in the long run.

Axle shafts usually like to go bye bye after 600hp
