Just wanted to clarify as well that GForce designs and fabs their own products besides the driveshafts. I beleive the same goes for DSS. I actually tested several different components for Chris at GForce from its development and he is still tweeking his designs and making improvements. All of these are top notch products and will withstand whatever you can throw at them. For companies like Lingenfelter, Hennessey, etc. you are always going to pay more for the name as they have put all the research into their components and sure you can always save money if you break down all the parts and shop them out individually to get the cheapest price but some people like the option to buy a complete kit that they can receive and install. Everyone has their own methods to shopping mods and no one should be criticized for the route they take as that is what they are comfortable with.

To start, you've got your facts all wrong. I don't know if it's intentional to back skate or if you're just too busy to re-read. I don't have time to stay on Kyle's thread all day either, however, I multi-taks between 4 separate computers while working (one is personal) so, because it is important to me as well that you understand my responses I'll take the time to repost what you dis-agreed on (originally). I do think you're mis-reading my response interpreting someone coming off as an ass but it sure isn't me. >>Quote by DE<< Quote:
>> This was my response.<< "Especially when any good performance installer can put together an equal or better kit. If I can't get what I want from one particular vendor I just have my installer work with me to plan the kit I want. For example I may want a 9" or 9.5" housing, with 4.10+centre, strange pumpkin, and GForce 35spline axles, with a DSS driveshaft. Or different combination. My understanding of the benefit of going with a 9" system is that it's the strongest most copied system that has the most customizations because there are so many compatible parts available for them. I think a lot of people get stuck on vendor loyalties vs looking at requirements and getting better value for their money." "Not sure how that's coming off as an ASS." >> Back to current response, still very civilized<< My response had nothing to do with your "specific" LPE kit, my point was if I could get a 9", 9.5" section or whatever else that is compatible and would hold-up to my power output, working with my "very capable" installer (perhaps the rest are not capable, I don't know I don't work with all the others; but I have very high regard for mine who I think is a genius in this field), and I could save some cash along the way using the same components used by other vendors or a custom system using parts by manufacturers those other vendors use to come up with a kit, then that would be the route I would go with "if" I could not get one system from a specific vendor that I specifically wanted for my vehicle. You may think the 9.5" is the best out there for the SS, fair enough, I haven't seen or heard the verdict so I have no opinion right now, nor did I originally. Also, perhaps you are correct in stating the 9.5" may in fact be a special piece licensed specifically to LPE for the SS, I have no clue about that as well, nor did I comment on that in my original post either. However, what I do know for a fact is (according to expert opinion); The 9" rear is as I wrote earlier the most popular, copied, compatible, and customizable, and thus far proven the strongest rear used on these types of vehicles. Now with that said, there could be something else that could be stronger that is not currently hailed as such (perhaps the LPE 9.5" in your opinion), but nevertheless these are facts not opinions. If you are satisfied with your (what you say is proprietary) LPE 9.5" system I have no issue with it or how much you paid for it, and perhaps I may even get one after the research is done, numbers are calculated and recommendation is made. As far as I'm concerned your SS looks like it's a beast just like mine so it's all good. Really, I don't see the conflict or anything to disagree with in my original post. Quote:
