I also have the GFORCE 9" and couldnt be happier!! You will tear everything up several times before you have any problems out of that rear-end.
Well it all started with my last car (2002 Z28) that became internet famous for how clean/fast it was. I have always been a fan of clean and simple setups and when I switched to a turbo setup I was afraid I would lose that look. I am lucky to have a friend thats very good at fabrication from his garage. He had the same tastes as I do. I put my input on how I want it and he makes it happen. From that point its all me and I put the rest of the puzzle pieces together to make a very fast car I can drive anywhere and take to car shows.

Thrust bearing in the motor is what failed.

Couple things come to mind; have you been spooling up against the converter frequently, and do you know what the crank endplay was set at? There's a guy on Tech with a 408 single turbo trans am that's gone through 2 thrust bearings so far.

Eh, this was caused by the transmission missing two thrust washers causing movement in the whole case.

Actually they do great work and most cars that pop at the track are some seriously fast cars.

Just hear it at the tracks up here a lot.


Killer car and now you have me looking for that cyber grey
