Anyone know what you can get for the CV8 instead of the standard one that would take 574rwhp. Sequential or flappy paddle?? kit or replacement?

Yours is an auto isn't it. Probably want to speak to Gareth.

HarryOz's is working fine on the stock trans. As is Munkey's with around 550, plus quite a few others. Even my feeble setup is pushing 500+
Unless you intend dropping the clutch on it at peak torque it should be ok. Worry about upgrading it when it busts I recon.

Then maybe take a look at the TR6060 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremec_TR-6060_transm... as per Global-i

HIGH STRENGTH OUTPUT SHAFT
The output shaft is fabricated from SAE 8625 steel for improved strength. The shaft has revised grooves for stronger split washers and revised end diameter for tail shaft bearing support.

HIGH STRENGTH REAR HOUSING (MG9)
The rear housing is revised by adding internal and external ribs and relocating a solenoid to reduce stress and improve durability.

ADDITIONAL ROLLER BEARING ON MAINSHAFT (MG9)
To reduce main shaft bending under high torque an output shaft bearing was added in the rear housing tail shaft.

Both the Corvette ZR1 and the CTSv use the TR6060 designated as MH3 and MG9, respectively. The MH3 is validated to 620 lb-ft of torque, while the MG9 is validated to 560 lb-ft of torque
