Add a set of Hendrix offset differential bushings to the list. They'll help keep the axle angles happy when you lower the car. It's a bit of a project to pull the diff and get them swapped in, but...

Not a Camaro, but intersting!

New unlimited speed record set at the BBORR this weekend. I had to cancel so I wasn't there, but it's a fun event. 173 average over 118 miles on a closed state hwy. And I'd sport that back bumper as...

I have the JXB on mine, have for about 20k miles now. No complaints at all. Even with the softer bushing it will transfer a little more driveline noise to the cabin. But hey, it's a hotrod, right?

I'm on the General Gmax RS tires too. 275/40 up front and 305/35 out back. They are a good "compromise tire". They do a decent job at pretty much anything I've asked of them, but they aren't "great"...

There's a vent on top of the diff at the rear, on the passenger side. It should have a hose connected to it but it just pulls out of the connector, so it could have come out. You can reach up there...

The aspect ratio, while it is a factor in tire diameter/height, isn't the only factor. It's just that, an aspect ratio related to the tire width. For example, a 275/40/20 is 28.7" tall, so is a...

That was pretty crazy. My best guess is he got in hot, understeered, and just didn't abort in time. the higher he went up the track the worse traction got.
