how much HP can a stock rearend take in a 83 Z28??

 

the real question is how much torque/traction/wheel hop/abuse can a stock rear take

I honestly have no idea, are you auto or man? 7.5" 10 bolt? depends...I've seen people go low 10's on a 10bolt and I've seen people running high 13's break em...it's case by case mostly

 

not alot..

 

sry i was kinda vague...i have a 5 speed..its a 10 bolt...i guess i will have to take a chance....i got a 200 shot goin on soon so i just wanna how hard to come off the line...thanks for the info guys

i hope u got some arp rod bolts and some good pistons because a 200 shot will eat some shit up..and n2o will make a shit load of tq so..i'm going to say soon as u launch that thing on the track with slicks..u can say bye bye to the rear..just start to save up for a 9inch or a 12bolt..u can some times find bolt in ones cheap..but they do hold there value in the gm world..so really finding one cheap will be hard for u.

 

is this gonna be a progressive shot? progessive will be less wear and tear off the line...and what tire do you plan on running? is this a track car or pure street?

 

well its a weekend warrior, it'll see mostly the track and some street races...the motor is fully forged also so all i am worried about id the rearend....the shots on a button so i can just hit in 2nd or something like that till i get a better rear end

 

ok i know i've talked to u about the car before..and from what i remember is that your just using a reg block...not sure if it was a 2 bolt or 4 bolt

but if it is a 4 bolt main block are the mains like scalloped right in the webing area if so.i wouldn't shoot that much juice.also i cant remember if what heads u where using and the hp out put of the engine in n/a fourm..if your going to make over 750hp or just even 700..i would fill the block to the freeze plugs to give it a lil bit more strength.and it better be a 010 block and thats not the last part of the casting number i'm talking about this would be on front of the the block under the timing cover in the upper right hand side..these blocks where almost the strongest stock blocks from gm..the stronogest are the 010 and 020 blocks with the non scalloped mains.just alil info for u.i would hate to see u get it together and have a block give on u

 

thanks bro, yea its a 4 bolt but i will look for those numbers on the block.i didnt even think bout that stuff, just gettin anxious to get it done, thanks for the advice ghost...

 

no problem..i wish at times tr would make shit stickys something like the block info would be good for all the gm guys to know.
