DTE

But...I think i've seen most major brands fail.

The G-force built T-56 seems to be holding up in my cousins 800+ whp Z06, for the time being.

DTE Differential. Get both hardened output shafts.. and RPM Transmissions. Get the Stage V MN6 unit with the hardened G-Force mainshaft. Add the DTE differential brace (must for a track car) Also you could do the LG driveshaft too if you want..

Thats about the most you can do and would be an ultimate package.

DTE is about the best you can get for our cars.
A differential alone is around 4k.

At this power level you may want to consider solid axle
