It put down a little over 410 to the wheels with the cam, it would yank the box off launching it on sticky tires, I believe it was always the passenger side box, but then that would pull on and bend the driver one, which is a common problem with the FD with a LS swap, thats why Henson updated there swap crossmember with a support arm that bolted to the body, we later put that one and with a better weld the last time we welded it and the support arm it broke the driveshaft finally instead, then we knew we did ok. He actually had the first LS6 swapped FD. There were a few, not many, but a few LS1 swapped FD's when he did his.

if i could find one for under $1,500 i will do it but if not then oh well i just wont launch hard, and pray it holds on the street. i hardly ever race and have only squeezed through 2 bottles in almost 2 years so its not THAT big of a deal to spend $2-3,000 on a rear.
