Thats a good plan man. 650whp on the street is more than plenty haha. How are you enjoying it so far now?

So my 360 Forged Wheels GT Split 9s Have Arrived. No teaser shots until the pro shoot so stay tuned for the first camaro rolling on a set of these.

Ita absolutely awesome....but leaves you wanting more!!!

I basically skipped all the things most people do first. Headers, intake ect. So ill add that plus i nice cam and smaller pulley and call it a day. I cant imagine how fast that will be but i also want to be able to enjoy it and not be spinning everywhere!

Haha it always does, just have to resist man!!

Yeah to be honest its nice probably to have a near stockish sounding car but with all the extra power. It gets crazy man honestly 500-600whp your border line streetable. Anything more you'll need to roll around on a drag radial. I'm hopelessly spinning I don't even know what it its like to run through 1-3 anymore lol.

VanquisherSS · 06-11-2013, 03:17 PM

So I had the car checked out today, got a 90% clean bill of health overall. No clutch/transmission issues that were able to be replicated at the time. Diff is still leaking a bit out the vent tube which is confirmed and was a little low on fluid. So its ok to drive for now just keeping an eye on the level in the diff while we sort out this leak.

Right now im 502RWHP and zero traction issues with 315/35/20 Vreds. I can be rolling at about 10mph with temps above roughly 55 and no tire spin. I love these tires.

Im sure things will change on my next round of mods in a few years, that will put me at roughly 650RWHP. But ive read people running Vreds with over 700RWhp and love them.

Thats pretty sweet man that sounds like an awesome tire. I was going to order a set of 4 for my new wheels but my back tires are still good so I'm gonna run those out first and put vreds on the front.

Yeah the more you go up especially with your blower the torque is gonna be crazy and then you'll start roasting the tires lol.

Indeed I am pretty happy. I noticed the leak is still pretty prevelent so i'm going to keep the driving to a minimum until we square that away. Doesn't seem as serious as I thought now but as we dig deeper into the leak we shall see.

. I got her aligned again after all of this drivetrain stuff installed she drove great today.

Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best

Just wanted to update the thread with some pics taken from a show:

Car looks so good man! Glad you are able to drive it again.

Excuse my inexperienced thought, but woulding it leak out of the vent if you overfilled the diff? I thought that was part of the point of the vent. Maybe it just had to much in it.

Either way, those car show pics are bad ass!

Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words

. Normally yes it would just vent out the excess from the tube but usually there is a baffle in the top that keeps it from just pushing fluid out. It seems like when the diff heats up its just pushing fluid out. When it was inspected last it was low on fluid so it leads me to believe it keeps pushing fluid out for some reason.

We'll get to the bottom of it shortly

. Then I just need some proper tire to get some track times.
