Hey guys I have an 05 m6. It has (all done by previous owner at HPE) Comp cam XE-R .605/.609, UD, Kook's LT's and mid w/ hi flow cats, Magnaflow catback. It was dyno tuned at 437hp. It also has Pedder's rear kit but I don't know the specifics on it.
My question is at what horsepower levels do you need to do other mods/upgrades to support the HP?

I'd like to do some drag racing and would really like to do some road course, not competitive just for fun. It is my DD so I would like to error on the safe side and also don't want it to "feel" like a racecar (I drive 100+ miles daily).

I'm not sure what extent your "Pedders rear" is altho I'm a fan of replace the inner and outer rear control arm bushings to help with control arm control and camber issues. Any brand will do. I would think that you would be well served all around with springs (I'm partial to Lovells 20mm drops), front strut bushings/bearings with bump stops, front radius rod bushings and new dampers all around. It will help a lot on the street/track and for the strip some drag bags added to the new springs to aid with wheel hop. In the rear billet axle stubs can be very important as they can snap drag racing and are a PITA to get out it they do. New differing diameter "anti-wheel hop" half shafts are said to help a lot with hop and offer a stronger shaft. The cages on the stock ones are prone to break under high traction/hard launch conditions. If you shift it hard a different shifter would be on my list too as the Hurst has issues.
