Took the new setup out to do a couple tests and run the new driveshaft thru its paces. Went out onto the interstate and kept the car in 2nd, went up to 5000 rpm for about a minute, then up to 5500 for about a minute then up to 6000-6300 for another minute. Man my ears are ringing. No vibrations, no issues, no need for a tow truck either. Time to change the gear oil now.
On a side note, i may replace my valve springs at 10 to 15K vs the 20K recommended!

Thanks again GForce. The new driveshaft is the shizzznit! Oh and the 35 spline S-Trac, housing, and 300M axles aren't too bad either!

You guys stop it, making me envious, and I'm not an envy kind of guy. LOL

Chris, you guys need to make some headway up here in the T.dot, I don't think anyone up north doing 9" setups on their Camaro's because we Canadians tend to take a wait and see approach so everyone is waiting for someone to be a guniea pig. Like me. LOL

When you get ready to order that 9" I'll be glad to set your shop up as a dealer so more Canadians can have our 9" installed.

You asked to let you know about new updates, we now offer the shaft that we installed in BullF-16's car in a 4" version for 1000+hp and 150+ mph ratings.

Thanks
Chris

Chris, that's awesome news. Just got the vehicle back last week. Only had one decent afternoon to drive it a bit, but it's still pretty lousy weather to finish tuning though so have to wait to see the final verdict when it get's a bit warmer in the next few weeks. Keep up the good work. I received amazing references from a number of the 1000+hp. guys regarding your product.
It's just a matter of time before we get some of those kits up here.

Man you gonna' be amazed when you get that 427 it's a whole different ball game. At only 780rwhp. driving on the street I have to get into 3rd. as quickly as possible because too much TQ at 1st. and 2nd. gears on the street, even 3rd. on the street is retarded.
I took it on the hwy a few times, and in 5th. gear I'm still pulling like mad. And, she loving the 94octane fuel 1/4 tank get's chewed up in no time at all.
Are you getting the LSX block? Man you gonna' be like.
