Modified 6th gen A10: Driveline Concerns regarding drag strip tires
Hello,
My 2020 2SS A10 is slightly modified and I heard from several members of the community that you shouldn't run sticky tires on the vehicle on the track because of driveline tolerances related to the automatic transmission. Can someone elaborate on this please? I am considering a Cam Kit and 416 build for my car, with the consideration of supercharging later, but worry about the driveline. My shop says they've built a 2021 Camaro with 900hp on the stock driveline but they did specify this was an M6 with an upgrade done to the clutch. Thanks! FlukeSS

I just didn't want to shred my diff, and rip my axle/drive shaft in 1/2 doing a launch on some stickies. Appreciate it!

No way. SS driveshaft and axles are weaker than ZL1. You'll likely pop one of those, or both, on a built motor leaving on drag radials at the strip...especially boosted. I shredded my DS with "only" 650 WHP or so.

So who is right? My Shop or what I've read on here from the community? That is why I asked the question here hoping to get a more definitive answer or an explanation. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you are wrong, but I can't take your word as being correct unless my Mechanic tells me the same thing. Because that rear end upgrade is $5000+. I need a definitive answer and my shop claims its possible on a stock driveline. Its not that I don't believe you its more that I don't believe my shop and they are trying to dip into an $9000 upgrade that my car may not be able to handle.

The “2021 Camaro 900 HP” build you referred to is a ZL1 or SS…?

OP has an SS model, not a ZL1, and the driveshaft/axles are weaker on the SS than the ZL1. Plus, the race car ZL1 that you are talking about likely has a modded driveline, to be even stronger. |

Yeah you should find out if that was a ZL1. That would explain their casual attitude towards the driveline if so.

Josh is right on the SS having a weaker driveline so If you plan on drag racing on slicks/radials I'd at least do the driveshaft and axles. If it's going to be a street toy then I wouldn't worry. In the end it's up to you what you want to do but when you start trying save money on some areas vs spending more in others it can come back to bite you. Also if going the blower route you're wasting your money doing a 416.
