Hoping I can find a place to press on the wheel bearings tomorrow morning, then prep the driveshaft and the rear itself for install.
Sunday it should be spinning the tires on its own. But not until the afternoon.

Sounds like you have a fun weekend planned ahead of you. What ratio was that gearset again...355?

[Mr. Luos]

4.11

Gonna need a taller tire at sea level to avoid the rev limiter crossing the traps.

Man that car is gonna hook. You won't have any problems with it now, as it is almost foolproof. Just heat those slicks up for 5 sec. and they'll be stickier then syrup.

I expect to see your 60' time drop into the 1.7 sec. range. Gonna be hard to deal with the swaying of the car down the track though, as I believe those tires don't have a sidewall.

Keep us posted on the track results.

[Mr. Luos]

I am hoping to run her Wednesday.
But I have a lot of work ahead of me before that comes.

[BullDog71ss]

Does the new rearend require some bit of breakin process?

[clawhammer]

Did you blow the rear end already or are you just upgrading?

[BullDog71ss]

I foresee a blazing fast mid 15 second 1/4 mile run by Lous in the near future.

Beautiful. I wanna see how you comparing to Hyde and ChevyTrucks after this.

My guess is Hyde will still be the fastest. IIRC, JekylandHyde was just waiting for some downtime to get the new clutch installed, but once the car gets tuned again, it should put down 600+ rwhp, which is probably going to get him mid 10s. Mr. Lous is at a really high elevation which will hurt his ETs, but I have a feeling he"ll put down a 10 sec pass with some calculations IIRC all that slowprocess added to the truck was a 100 shot, and he was at high 11s before, which I"m guessing will get him down to low 11s.

[Mr. Luos]

Power is there for 10's at sea level.
Probably won't ever see it. I refuse to put a cage/bar in this car.

Not a race car, I just enjoy having fun at the track.

I wanted to go ahead and upgrade the rearend before blowing up the stocker. Mostly because I am a cheapass. The stocker will sell.

Nice Luos, just where the hell do you find all this money?

Well, I got a full out race car, so not really a fair comparo on my part. The way it was, I would have been low 10s.

Once I get my new chassis and front/rear suspension though, I'm looking to be 6.30 or better in the 1/8th, which will get me high 9s in the 1/4.

And Mr. Lous, good luck with it. I'll tell ya though, you're in for a big job. Its not very easy to roll a rear end under a car, lol. Might be a little better since you didnt have the new one cut down any and stayed with the stock width (not to mention you have a stock rear frame section, lol), but either way, its a pain to do that!

[Mr. Luos]

Thanks!!!

So far so good. Rear end is ready to get put back in. Axles, diff, etc. are all in the housing and working.
Needs filled and connected.
Hoping to have video tomorrow afternoon of it spinning the tires.....on jackstands.
