Im not even sure. My intention was too ship my extra diff out and have it built, but I couldnt find a good way to ship it, so I had it built locally. I think if I used one of the plastic totes that have the lids that fit into each other, that might work. The diff weighs 70lbs.

Good stuff tonight gentlemen. Stirring the BS pot. I like it. I have to agree... I haven't seen anything that performs like Ryan's setups NA.

Ryan's setups are great, but there was no reason at all to trash Lethal or their setup.

Yes sir. Looks like I sucked a little oil from the catch can and oil fouled the plugs. The plugs didn't look too bad at all. The shop spun some new plugs and the shop owner has been driving it around for 3 days. He said it's good to go so I pick it up tomorrow afternoon after he Dyno tunes it again.

Hmmm okay. I MIGHT have a smoking deal on a 3.45 diff locally. If not, I'll hit you up.

I didn't see any trashing. NF is my second choice should I run out of energy to convert to vvt.

I just can't wait till I can get to the track to get some times to post on Ryan's LS3 cams. I'm hoping to get atleast 11.5. I'm sure a better driver could probably get lower.

Popcorn.
62nalide be all fired up!
Slow turtle whooped his out and had no response.
Good stuff here gentlemen.
I'm going to leave a comment right here:
When viewing dyno graphs, notice the room temp and condition...then notice actual weather in that town that day. Just watch some shops for their dyno charts. Some may have very controlled climate rooms for sure. Some may not...or some may have an awkward way of creating their own atmosphere.
This works for many shops...and many boards...many cars. Friend of mine and I caught it on mustang boards too. My post linked in one of those threads....track times. Give me that. Dynos are a tool. I could make my car pull a Hail Mary dyno pull for forum dick size bragging rights if I wanted...print it and prove it. Then the car would run the same thing it does right now. Note that is why I post a timeslip soon after my dyno postings. Learned that from a old friend of mine and Axis's passed on now. The BS stops when the lights drop at the track.
I honestly don't know what all shops tweak numbers for sales. Honestly. But I do know first hand that GPI does not. I have no factual clue about others. I have suspicions. Like I said...watch temps and real deal weather that day in that city. Google will show you how to go back in history and look. One dyno chart I in fact caught as false then verified by another shop tipped me off. Then the next chart posted by that shop was dead nuts on accurate. So maybe it was an honest error on correction factors. Totally possible.
And for the record...I'm referring to cams, blowers, headers for dang sure...whatever.
I'm 38 years old and know that I over study stuff way too much. Lol.
Couple of great easy to find examples...how about 50whp headers and certain cold air intake claims...-cough-&N-.

Throw the idea of that night fluffy cam out the door if you want a real performance setup.

Those same reasons you stated is why Ryan had little arrows pointing to everything on my dyno graph so nobody can say it was cooked. I did see a dyno graph a while back that had low temps and humidity in the middle of August and that just doesn't happen down here in August......
