Have you been to the track to test the new Diff and Xtreme Chiller, was the Xtreme installed when you ran the 10.89?

I haven't been since I installed it, track in Gainesville is closed but an event on Jan. 4th I hope to catch.
Yes the 10.89 had the updated chiller IATs were no concern. I do need to get with you to do the adjustments and maybe a compressor on my car after I get back from work in the spring.

Clinc I can't respond to PMs or Visitor messages, so the answer to your question of what shaft was I running with the S60 I am pretty sure its a 3.5" DS.

[QUOTE=Turbo99;7255008]I recently had upgrade my stock rear to a 3:91 and Eaton Tru-Trac....well 500 mile and 3 passes later it was chirping the tires while turning corners. So out it came and found the Tru-Trac had several bolts that were loose that keep the carrier together.

So I decided to upgrade...Saw that Strang was coming out with a Dana 60 drop in. So I talked to Strange and they told me it would be available in a week or so. I called Thomas at Hendrix and Frank at DSS and they worked their magic with Strange and got me 1 early, I believe the first that was not a test car...according to Strange.

Anyway the rear went in flawless and fit like a glove, it is a nice cast piece and came with poly bushings and 3qts of Lucas oil. It was loaded with 3.73 gears and a Strange S-Trac 35 spline inners which is Strange's version of of a Tru-Trac. I also upgraded to DSS 1400HP axles with the new CV joints for lowered cars which doesn't have the bolt together ends on the outer joint anymore. I also got a DSS aluminum driveshaft. The car drives great no vibrations or rear gear noise. I am very pleased so far with the up grade. I can't say exactly what I paid but $6000ish should get you in this set up.
The car has 3" Flowmaster exhaust.

Sounds like a great improvement.

I'm just hoping your stock rear end failure was a fluke failure as I also last winter did LPE's 3:91 gear, with Eaton Tru Trac and I also added LPW's girdle support cover. I'm also lowered, running 315's tires and about at 2000 miles on rear end change, (with some burn-outs) Just this month, my winter upgrade added DSS's CF driveshaft and Hotchkiss frame connector.

No drag strip running.... (yet) But if I start hearing some clunk, or bust up my rear, this something to consider!

I believe he had the top secret alignment specs from Hendrix that put him in the 10s

Turbo99 · 01-19-2014, 06:47 PM

lol yeah the alignment did help.
