Lookin good man

I have the same set-up (except a ford nodular housing). Ironically, I have the same jack stands too. I see your axels actually came with the hole to access the backing plate bolts. Mine did not. I had to grind channels in my backing plates to get a wrench in there. I guess they fixed that after I called to complain.

$#%&......There goes the neighborhood

Good to see Merv...can really hammer that thing on slicks now

Its amazing how heavy your foot gets when you dont have visions of 10bolts granading in the back of your head

What gear did you go with?

I got to that point and was looking down at it and looking at the Nuts basically going "how the fck..."lol
I sat back to grab a wrench and noticed the hole and was like sweet..

I went with 3.50's.. I actually picked up a little more in the mid range and the highend with that gear..it feels like it.

I dug in it yesterday on my DR's off of a stop light racing against a college kid in a Mustang..I eased it off the line and when he went to shift into second I punched it and took off by about 4 lengths..
The next light he came up along side and was like WTF..


Next is the built T56 boys..

Fun Factor..

And I blew up my Tranny today hitting it on the highway..so I want a T56 that will hold up and cost less in the long run. I've killed 2 Trannies within 6 months.

I had a 9" in my old 93 T/A you are going to love it.

I hear ya, nothing like banging gears in a high hp car. How do you think the car will do in the 1/4 with the t-56? Do you think it will be as fast as the stalled auto?

I think it will be a little slower..I still want to knock out a 11.2X just to say I can do it with the M6..

Thanks bro..
Trust me.. after all this **** with the Auto's blowing up..I'm dropping in a T56. That and I want to play with the Gears..

Merv, how is T/A clearence? So many time we hear of T/A's hitting under the car in the tunnel area with a 9" I've got a 6 spd car and have been contimplating the 9" over a 12 bolt but don't want the additional non sense, the robbed power is bad enough LOL.

I don't see any problems with it, it's been working fine, and I'm lowered..

damn I need to stop trying. With the addition of a T-56 you will be driving the car I ultimately want. besides mine being a formula/firehawk.

Nice setup

Thanks man, I want to get this thing done. I didn't have it on the road for 24 hours and killed it..

Great, what about driveshaft length?

Hot94Z28

From what I understand when I was comparing the S60 to the 9-inch is the 9-inch you can use the stock drive shaft and the S60 you need to get a shorter one. But the stock drive shaft is a weak link also might as well change it while your doing the rear.
