What's up, havent been on here in a very long time. But i have my next project and was wondering if my stock rear-end can handle the extra torque and horsepower and your opinion the kit i slected.

I want the Trick Flow Head Cam kit.

Are you a auto or six speed? Some people have broken 10bolts at stock power levels while others run into the low 10's and faster. Alot depends how how the car has been maintained and how its been driven. Big stalls and high rpm launch on sticky tires tends to destroy 10 bolts

im auto. im trying to update my signature under my posts but wont let me.

Im auto my last up grade was LT pacesetter air/egr delete Texas speed catted hi-flow y pipe n frost tune.. im guessing i sould have 350+ RWHP and 330-340 RWTQ

car wise ive taken great care of it. only 98,XXX miles

I'd let Martin @ www.tickperformance.com spec the cam. He can also give you more help on rest of your set-up VS. a generic kit such as the Trickflow setup.

10 bolts seem to last longer with a auto trans but they can break at any moment IMO

I agree! Martin is a great guy to talk to and will help you setup a badass combo!

using the stock 10 bolt = this no joke

ytownls1

Yes, your rear end can handle that setup however the answer to "how long" is the unknown. Whether it works for one hard launch or 100, the time will come where it will be an issue.

I have the same problem and it sucks just knowing I'm sitting on a time bomb!

I refuse to take my car to the track just because I know the rear is going to go. A 9 inch will be the next thing I get for my z.

Its basically luck of the draw, I am making 430whp in my 3300lb Monte on a stock 7.5 10bolt. But I have a disability since I have a 26spline rear vs you Fbody guys with the 28spline and I am a 6 speed car as well. I don't power shift or dump the clutch being abusive but that doesn't mean I don't baby the car either. I also run 18x9.5 rear wheels with 275/35-18 Nitto NT-05's so there is some traction available as well.

Its not a matter if will it, but when.

Depends on your intentions for the car. Daily driver yes you will be fine if that is all you are going with H/C/I on a otherwise stock car. I know because I can speak from experience not just internet talk. Just like anything its how well you maintain it/ to what level you abuse it before it breaks

ytownls1

well i go to track a bit during the season. but yes may-oct it is my daily driver.

my goal is to try to get 450+ rwhp. after this year ill save for the upgraded rear-end..and transmission. also forged bottom end
