I got a Nice deal on one, if it brakes ill j ust buy another one.

Althought i will be geting the ISF Process done

I dont plan on running the car when she gets done, i just want to get here running.

My goals are to focus on the drivetrain once she starts

Goals are 700-780 on e85

Stm runs there Tcase with the Stock LSD, the Quaife is NOt necessary IMO


Stms car is running 9.6 w/ 0 issues

cant beat that than, but be warned if you do your own labor the tcase is a complete ***** to swap out if it decides to take a **** with the motor / trans in. shep and trevor both recommended stage 3 for a daily driver with high hp because any form of wheel hop will grenade the tcase overtime.

stick with your stock rear trans mount also if you're doing bs elim which im sure SM is doing, or the car will have some ****ty vibrations.

those are some high HP goals, im only going for 600 myself.

be prepared to pay big when you get your trans done, my trans shifted really good yet it needed $2200+ in work done.

^ ^ Whats BS elim, lol for some reason i cant figure what ur talking about.

Trust me thats y i said i will wait for the car to run then focus on drive train.
I will give my self all spring/summer to finish her for the shootout.
Car wont be drag raced at the track intill i get the drivetrain supporting mods i want

Also if you know what your doing getting out a Tcase with the motor still in is Very Easy

Balance shaft eliminator kit.. and no its not easy. You have to remove every mount on the motor (except one) to be able to swing the motor forward to pull the tcase out to get clearance. I just did my entire car in my garage, so i know.
