Hello guys

i'm new on this forum and even in Chevy world
my name is George and i'm well known tuner in JDM / EDM world in Caucasus region. i own myself several cars for Drift and Drag and all of them are 650+whp (mustang dyno), ive been gone through hard times braking drivetrain (axles, driveshaft, transmissions) on my Drag BMW E46 3.0 Turbo.
currently car makes 690whp on 100 octane with 50/50 Eth injection @ 28psi boost (S372) and runs perfect just had to do a lots of Fabrication and R&D to find / make proper drivetrain parts that would hold that power.
anyways long story short, i'm planning to get myself 2001 Camaro SS SLP 5.7 with Manual trans and build it for drag purpose with 800+WHP or more if pump gas will allow me to go for more.
my question is - what are weak points on those cars for 800-850WPH mark? i'm talking about Mustang dyno figures not Dynojet.
how much can stock Trans hold? stock diff, axles driveshaft?
how much stock internals can hold and what is most popular forged setup on those LS1 motors?
WE DON'T HAVE E85 here so please do not recommend me High CR stuff etc. i'm oriented on pump gas (US 93) and meth injection. we are limited with fuel and i'm thinking to switch from BMW to V8 to push it for more power because our fuel does not give me ability to go for more on my engine.

we don't have glue here on race track please also consider that as well.

what internals are needed for that power level ? i mean are there Rockers, push rods, valves etc needed? or special bolts, gears for oil pump or something?

in BMW world u can assemble short block with forged internals, stock oil pump, completely stock head and push it for 700whp without problem but u are limited to 7100rpm.

anyways thanks for your time reading all this
i'm open for any proper suggestion

thanks in advance

George

p.s. for better understanding what i drive now
check out my BMW (620whp at that time) vs 600whp GTR

 

There is no part of the driveline that is usable except maybe the Aluminum Driveshaft. The T56 that came with the LS1 has torque limitation on the case itself. I think the GTO had a stronger version T56 and of course there are aftermarket option. I think caddy made a heaver one also. The Vet shifted the transmission to the rear of the car some their monster T56's are not an option.

I think the LS1 can handle 800 hp but the 6.0 LS3 is a stronger motor. Everything comes down to budget. You could easily spend 10k getting a transmission and rear you want or you could spend $2500 and get a Transmission and Rear that would work.

New LS3 turbo, after market T56 and clutch and beefed up 12 bolt. Close to $25,000

Used 6.0 (from a truck) Slight mods, turbo. Beefed up 4l80e and a Ford rear cut to fit. $6000

Both would get you 750-950 hp on pump gas. Of course its not one or the other depending on budget you could mix and match. No matter what the T56 is going to be a big part of the budget if you go that way.

I assume this is a RPM Magnum Stage 6 Just the base trans is 6k , note even this car is using the iron truck block.
