Thanks..... Ohh and the bushings are very hard. Almost as hard as the bmr bushing. The difference is so small I don't think it's worth the change.

Then I gotta save for a one piece driveshaft and an aftermarket ZR1 upgraded clutch. By then, I have my cold air intake and ported TB. That should get me near 435 RWHP.

There's a lot of good info on clutches on this site it pays to do some homework

The only thing is the instructions sucked! It was missing a lot off torque specs and it said nothing about a different yoke which was included. You have to use a puller to get it of also. And you have to pull the spindles you can't just swing them out of the way. No modifications needed to fit the diff

What did you use to pull the yoke off? & did you just drive it using the nut? Sorry gotta ask

I used a 2 jaw balancer puller and it came off with ease. Then I used a socket and drove it on. Then the nut gets torqued to 77ft/lbs

The whole job was 3 and a half hours start to finish. But I have a lift. Definitely have someone help you with the center section that thing is heavy(144lbs)

I wish I had a lift. I did it jack stands. It took me about four hours and I'm tired as hell.

I have had mine over a year with no problems takes everything I throw at it. For the ones that have the rear what gear oil are you running ? I have the moan when the oil is cold. Goes away when warm.
