plan changing... I can't start break in until Monday.... after the 4 heat cycles, can the 'easy' miles be highway miles? the loss of time and my work schedule are about to make impossible to finish break in and fluid swap before getting on the road....dammit...

Yea, when your on the highway heading to the Fest, just vary your speed. Staying at a constant speed is what you want to avoid.

I'm amazed, speechless, ecstatic... you name it! I cannot believe the difference in quality your setup has compared to the DSS I had in it. Night and day difference and solid as a rock now where as before I had nothing but noise and "clunking". It's one of those deals that I wish I knew then what I know now, so I wouldn't have had to go through all the problems I had with your competiletors. Thanks Chris for making an outstanding product and reassuring me that we would get my problems solved. The car, drivetrain, suapension has never felt better.

Also: Raymonds Performance did such a great job on this install. The quality of their work combined with your 9" in my opinon was the perfect setup for me.

I'm sure there isn't too many people out there that have had an entire DSS kit in their car and a GForce so if anyone wants my opinion please pm me for the details.

Thanks again Chris......badass product brother!!

That's great!

I knew you would like it. And like I said, we don't want to run down the other brand but simply like showing what makes our kit different and stand apart, plus you now know why we offer a Lifetime warranty.
We have really worked hard at making our 9" kit the Cadillac of 9" kits.
We make little improvements on our kit all the time whenever we come across something that will make a better kit we make the changes.

Thanks
Chris

I fully agree and don't want to put down another brand either as they helped me out a lot, but at the end of the day it came to quality.

From a consumers perspective and talkin with my installer this kit is by far superior to anything else on the market! Plus it very easy to install for the average guy who knows how to turn a wrench where other brands had to be notched, ect......

Here is the plan: beat the hell out of it tonight again and then change the fluid. It took a killer beating last night and still quiet a can be today.

If your able to Chris give Strange a thanks from me also as I'm putting this current center section through hell and it's holding up good and staying quiet. Pulle a 1.49 60ft last night.

Chris, as you know your awesome 9"kit blew my motor but i said the hell with it. I have been driving it daily with the broken ringland and just taking it easy on the boost. The GForce kit drives better than the stock setup even at OEM levels....you know how i like it at stupid levels

Cant wait for the new motor and to start punishing it again.

I'm really glad you guys are getting recognized here on C5. You and DSS represent this platform well and thanks for your products!

What kind of times you running Brandon? Beat on it as hard as you want. We've tested our 9" kit in our shop car with repeated 5500 rpm transbrake launches on slicks just to see if it could take it and we couldnt break it

That's great man, the guys at National Speed have called a couple times now talking about how nice our kit was and how it just bolted right in. They are really impressed. Reports like this really puts a smile on my face

Jim, I'd like to take credit for breaking your motor but your right foot deserves most of the credit LOL

On a side note, you like talking about how fast you've been on our new driveshaft, we recently sold a 9" kit to a G8 customer and he reported he got it up to 180 mph before running out of road. He is looking for a longer stretch of road to see if he can hit 200!
They drive crazy in Mexico!

Ive been running 1/8 and at mid 6's. The heat is killing my top engine mounted SC :(
I have some work to do in order for it to run 9's consistently, but we'll get there soon none the less.
