Basically...going with 3.91s, they don't fit in the GM 7.6" rear end that comes stock in the auto v6 so gotta upgrade to the ss rear end which means I then had to get the ss axles and hubs

I think it just shifts your torque peak so you have more down low, honestly not 100% sure

The beefier differential will allow him to put more power to the rear wheels without breaking. The lower gear (higher number, 3.91) will cause his RPM to increase faster. Meaning his car will rev faster, getting to the meat of the powerband faster. LSD will allowing him to put the power to both rear wheels, instead of only 1 rear wheel like the v6 autos do

Yes I remember how to drive, I do have a manual daily driver too

My detail job came out pretty good, some spots didn't come out as good as I wanted but overall much better. As for tips, just take it slow. Get one spot up to the level you want a repeat a panel at a time. Also don't over do it on the polish, that is one mistake I made my first time and all it does it make a mess and make your job harder.

As for the cowl and C pillars, I used my 4 inch pads and just went carefully. Since I have the stripes, you have tape it a very specific way to reduce your chances of lifting or ripping the vinyl. I have a screen shot of the method from when 13lstuner explained it to me. Let me know if you want it. And if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
