Come by sometime, I'll show you a photo of the new engine I'm picking up next week for the GTO. You thought it was fast before.. you aint seen nothing yet. We're going after some of these locals in the x275 drag radial game

What kind of new products...I want to test some. I need to get low 10s and need something to help me get there!!

Were working with BMR on a rear brake kit to put 15" wheels on and a few other things that we're keeping top secret for now.

You know you are always welcome to use my SS Chris! What days are you at the shop this week?

Ive researched everything you can possible think of when it comes to 9" IRS and these Camaro's and this is by far the best kit out there "HANDS DOWN". The competitors don't even come close to what this Standard Kit includes. Such a great complete kit!!

I'd be curious on the upcoming aluminum housing.. I weighed in over the weekend up at Byron and taking in to account the 30lbs of cargo I had and my 175lbs weight, my car came in at 3,870 with 1/2 tank -- not too bad given my mods... The new wheels will shave off another 30lbs..

Right now I'm stuck in the 11.9-12.1 range because, honestly, I'm too worried about the drive line to put a sticky tire on it. The only modded part is the Hendrix L5 1400HP axles.. Everything else is stock..

I already have all of Pedders/PFADTs bushings in my car, so if the eyes are the same between the OE housing and this one, then I wouldn't need bushes..

It would be nice if I could just have my L5 axles swapped over to this setup -- but, I don't think they will (though, I'd check on that for sure..)

It's irritating having 560 tire and an 11.973 as the fastest time.. =(

I should be here every day this week unless I'm out running an errand.
Swing by if you want, my cnc operator is back from vacation so I'll be in my cushy office instead of running cnc machines LOL

Thanks Brandon!

I'll have to double check but we have 12 kits finishing up and shipping this week with the new 1 piece 35 spline stubs and I'm pretty sure yours is one of them

Those axles wont work, they are too long to be used in a 9" kit.
I bet we can work something out, I'm sure you could sell them.

The bushings we use in our 9" kit is the same BMR bushing kit they sell for the OEM rear plus they all pick up the same factory locations.

I cant release a weight yet on the aluminum version as it is still going through some different machining variations to see how much weight we can take out of it but still have the rigidity in the FEM (3D CADD Finite Element Models).
Will probably be another month or so before we have one ready for testing.

Thanks
Chris
