Busy weekend for me!

[Mr. Luos]

The new rear end is ready to put back in the car!

Still plenty of work left, but downhill from here. All stuff I have done before now.

[Mr. Luos]

Awesome, we need more videos!

[balls_to_the_wall]

You now are gonna need the t-shirt that says something to the effect of Real cars don't power the front wheels, they lift 'em.

[Mr. Luos]

Almost there.

Did drive it.
E-brake doesn't work...but I know why.
Sway bar needs clamped up, but I didn't have the large clamps, I will pick them up tomorrow on my way home from work.
LCA relocation brackets need welded in. Sometime this week I hope.

Driving it was weird. You could feel the LCA's were REALLY mushy. Rear suspension was horrible.
Just a little whine from the rear, expected with the larger stronger gears and the TrueTrac diff.
Since the speedo isn't adjusted yet, it is kinda fun to watch it climb VERY quickly.

[Rally Sport]

Give us a video of that speedo climbing quickly! be pretty funny like "Yeah this is my Trans Am.. no lie, check out how quick it gets up there!"

[Mr. Luos]

Only took it to 4,000 RPM's.
Supposed to cool down and then it is broken in. Weird.
Probably put some miles on it though before beating it.

Then I will grab footage.

[FTheMan]

Awesome!

Thanks!!!

The worst part was the first hour. I had to get that bitch under the car myself. Hard to balance and move it at the same time.

I have an appointment Tuesday to get the LCA's welded in!

[Mr. Luos]

I LOVE these gears!!!

Just took it out on the highway....was at the top of 4th gear by the time I was on the highway.

[FormulaLT1]

Man, I was just looking at your wheel horsepower Curtis and your making like 610 - 620 horse at the flywheel when you calculate drivetrain loss. Thats insane, I didn't think you would being making that much power. I thought like 550 or so. Damn.

[Mr. Luos]

Thanks!!!

And I think I wasn't preloading the lifters enough either for that pull.
Hard to say now...but I hope it still makes over 500 RWHP through the 9" and the gears.

[FormulaLT1]

I know it will drop off a little cause I have seen the chevy high performance dyno tests with the different rears but I doubt it will be by that much maybe 10 horsepower or so. When your making 600 horsepower though, 10 horse aint going to break you. Man, you will still give me a hard ass run and possibly win even when I am boosting. I think I might have to add a more agressive cam or more boost or more cubes . , eh.

Can you lift the car's nose off the ground yet or have you tried?.

[Mr. Luos]

Haven't tried.
I am sure with the right tire it will.

Depends on if the driveshaft will hold too.
9" only has 20 miles on it so far.
