    • few updates... my dad and I installed the new rear end in tonight, it should be real interesting to see how the car responds to the posi and 3.73s. Really the last changes I will be doing to this car this year will be to install the fuel pump and up the boost to around 10psi, not sure when I will have the boost upped though.

            basically just on forums, its an MTI clear lid, I dont believe they are made any more so expect to pay a pretty penny.

                    yea we will have to, Im about to take the car to church right now but thats the first time I will have driven it. My dad took it for a spin yesterday and said that its real fun to drive, still have some traction issues so I may need some stickier tires for the track lol I will probably break the gears in a week or so before making any vids

                    • Nice setup!

                      Where did you get your rubber couplers from?

                        both red ones were off ebay a while back and the black one was intakehoses.com or .net or whatever.

                        as a side note, drove the car today and all I can say is this is gonna be FUN i didnt beat on it much yet, but the gears have really brought out the power of the car, I love em makes the 3.08s I had seem pathetic.

                              hmmm I take that back then. I was under the impression they didnt make them anymore. I got a DEAL on mine when a guy on ls1tech PMed me that he had his lid from his old car sitting around and would let it go for 50

                              • just took it out on a tuning ride to dial in the new gears. Fun little car to drive now. Definitely going to need some suspension work, at least LCAs soon in order to hook. A part throttle take off at the light resulted in some wheel hop. Gets up to 90 nicely too,
