what if the rear or transmission can't take all that abuse?

i have a friend with the A6 transmission in his C6 that took a crap on him on his cam only vette, i'm sure the added weight in the camaro will not help.

easy, then you build it stronger!,, i had no problem building the 4l60e and rear end in my 94 camaro to go 10's, and the new camaro trans / drivetrain will be a better starting point than the drivetrain in the 94 camaro

lol - Never saw a case of modding a Pre-Production car, this is a first for me but I'm definately interested...

Funny enough, 400 HP stock is more than enough for me. I'm just going to do breather mods, Intake / Exhaust...
