T-rex in a 04 z06 question

Whats the point of getting a vette if your gonna drive it like your having a mid life crisis?
Unless you prefer more tq down low, why not

yea, i realized i put 4.30s instead of 4.10s after i wrote that response. i dunno how sluggish that cam would be down low in his vette but i would still think to do 4.10s in it. even though they are geared differently i don't think that would be over kill with the 6 speed.

changing gears is a little more expensive in the vette ? 4.10 will tear up axle shafts quicker , thats part of the game though buy one thing and 5 other things have to be done . Good Luck
If you are not gonna get some gears, I would suggest NOT running a Trex. You WILL regret it if you put the Trex in and still have the stock gears.
I am running a cam that isnt quite as big as the Trex and I would hate to know how it would drive with the stock gears..

The z06 has different gearing in the tranny(more aggressive) is lighter AND has more compression. The guy would be OKAY with stock gearing but even better with 3.90's. 4.10's in a z06 with its gearing and light weight = have fun trying to get traction.

Have you ever drove a M6 car with a Trex or something close to a Trex? If not, you wouldnt understand what I am talking about...

I understand that the vette has different gearing and wieghs several hundred pounds less.. But I am giving up on this... Do whatever you shall please. It is your car and your money.
