            so why does the carquest price sheet say you charge for 5.3 hrs for a rear end rebuild?? I have to see 2-3 hrs to believe it...

              Dunno if I should be worried or happy at this. When I called the shop and asked them what progress they had made, they said that the gears were in and that he had just got done test driving it, I asked him how they were and this is what I got for a reply "Hehe, its fun.... yeah.. I think youll like it." I hope I have tires left when I get back.

                          Well, now that ive driven it im confident that I made the right choice. It seems allot stronger than it was before. Its not as easy to notice as the ram air, because you cant judge the speed by the sound of the engine, the car just goes allot faster. My speedo is way the hell off, it says im going 60 when I feel like im goin 40, but im not really trippen, I plan on getting my PCM relfashed at a delaership in the next few days. My initial impression is a huge [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] So far my favorite thing about the mod is the traction, I can launch nice and hard and it just flies, rather than one leg like i was doing, oh and if you havent felt a posi burn out you need to. :cool: can you tell im a tad bit excited hehe. Well worth the money IMO

                            whats your stall Dirty8-un-Dreds? Could I even do a burnout with 3.42s and only 1800 stall?

                              I can burn it out if I really try too,its not like I cant get rubber at all. It just has much better traction than it had before. I used to bog and spin off the line when it got dark and I doubt that will be happening now. I have a stock TC with stock stall. Depending on conditions im sure youll get a little bit of wheel spin, but just no where near as much as you did before, which is a good thing hehe. Just know that with a stock verter and 3:42's/ lsd youll have to "try" to burn out rather than just burn out.

                                Uhhh it's called corporate inflation. There's a couple of ASE mechanics here in town that will do gears/LSD in 3 hours for 200 bucks.
