Hi everyone, ive just bought another project / probably gonna turn it into a proper skid car. does anyone know how i can turn a stock ls1 into reliable at high rpm? like example removing parts that cause stress on the engine that are not need for a burnout car. stuff like that and any suggestions on what i should do to make it less likely to blow the engine, stronger parts that normally **** out after a few set's etc. anything that can help the car become more reliable at high rpm, less stress on the engine. cheers everyone

Diff coupling might only last a couple of good burnouts. That will be one of the weak points.

how do i improve / make a diff coupling stronger or more reliable?
Custom tailshaft if there is one available. Could also see if a billet coupling is available for your bus.

Not knowing where abouts in Australia you are makes it difficult for people on here to direct you to places than can help you in this area...Or any area of the build

Give Hardie Spicer a yell...Provided a link to their site.

https://www.hardyspicer.com.au/

Alternatively, the youtube channel I've linked, they were based in ACT, when they built their burnout car....They might be able to help you out
