Since mine's an auto, it shouldn't be a violent launch as in the 6M. Strange, my car dynoed at less rwhp than LS3s bone stock, but I run fairly equal ETs as they with the same mods. If something breaks, I'll test the GM warranty even with mods. You didn't say....did they fix yours or did you foot the bill?

I re-read your post and I see you're in LaPlata. I lived in Waldorf for 6 years, two 3 year periods. You're 20 minutes from world famous "Bud's Creek"....favorite track of "Pass Time" on Speed. I ran various cars there and it's a great track.
Yepp, I'm close to Buds Creek. Ive been there many times.. As far as my rear goes, I ended up going with the DSS 9' rear... I wasnt gonna waste my time fixing or getting fixed... the stock rear... just to bust it up again.. I was surprised my stock rear didnt last to long at all.. I guess trying to put 630rwhp to the ground will break alot of stock parts... lol....

What made you move away? Traffic? lol It's horrible here.. even with the new improved widening of the roads at the double lights in brandywine doesn't help much... just moves all the congestion down a 1/4 mile to the new shopping center they put in.... just before you got the the wawa and 7-11 at mckendree road..
