I might do that with the side markers and reverse lights. I want them MUCH darker.

That's how I wound up on camaro5, rear end advice and tranny advice. At the time I was trying to get a ZL1 rear but it wasn't available, that's a good option. I guess everything will depend on what you can do with your axles, they weren't cheap. For whatever it's worth the DSS 9" drives great, no noises, and it is strong as hell. I did get the single piece carbon fiber drive shaft, probably overkill but my thinking is less parts has to be better.
I spoke with Chris at GForce yeaterday....he is building me a 35 spline 9" with 3:91s (I think...I'm not positive what gear I want). Know anyone that needs a beefed upbatoxk six with 391s and DSS axles? Lol

The maroon Camaro is ysi s/c CaR running anywhere from 15-20 psi if boost at 700+ rwhp with stock suspension and just on 17" welds with drag radials on the back and last Friday he's tranny was slipping due to the converter not handling the power. he has a circle d triple disk stall and are refunding it but he would like to know at his power level what can handle that amount of power he is putting thru to make this monster go down the drag strip and hit that mid 10 second time slip we know it can hit.

Oh that's what you meant earlier by too late! Cool hopefully you guys can work something out. You're both getting sweet deals on awesome upgrades. I'm jealous.

I'll shown you mine when we meet up. Click on my SIG and there are a couple picture.
Didn't think they would work that's why I didn't chime in to get the 9" but if you can sell em that's great. I went from one extreme to the other, 4:10s down to to 3:70s , I could use a little more gear, although not 4:10s. Too much for boost, I don't know about nos.

No just the pumpkin....be a couple of weeks before I can pay Ty the rest...

I have an A6...I'm not too worried about the axles as mine will just be an NA car.

35 spline 9" with 3:70 gears.
3:91s would have me about 149 at 6800rpm in 4th.
This way if I want...I can step down to a 17" wheel.

That's gonna be a stout car by the time you're done. It's turning into a really cool build.

I could use some help, finally doing my afr gauge. A little confused on why there is only one O2. Which side, driver or passenger does it go on preferably?

Can I use the exsisting front 02s?

Welded to the catless connection pipe correct?
