New rearend + aluminum driveshaft = Oh wow

Well yesterday I spent about 7 hours working on my car with a friend in his shop. We put in my 3.27 rearend I got a few months ago, which was a fair bit of work because it had the old disc brakes, and my car has the 1LE PBR aluminum calipers.

I also replaced all my brakes front and rear, and we swapped the gears in the tranny to give me the proper speedo readings.

The car pulls so much harder now its great. I have to be careful going into 2nd gear now because the back end really kicks loose.

As far as rpms go when cruising at 120 kms before I was at 2k rpms. Now im at about 2400 rpms.

The rearend came out of an 88 formula with rear discs.
