thanks guys ! I am actually trying to go 12.0 or less before season ends with the cooler temps creeping up and now having a full season of seat time. keep in mind my car is a 6mt if I was auto I would be mid-high 11.
depending on how this season ends time wise and everything as well as future employment prospects dictates what I will do for next season.
Definitely a 9" or 12 bolt is a necessity as well as some suspension work, pads/rotors, probably a different exhaust LM1 is crazy loud I like it but could go slightly quieter

both sides slightly, extremely slightly touch the frame but can be finessed. very loud and raspy with the slp LM 1. the car made great power and the tsp parts were cheap so no complaints ! never noticed if it is close to the heater so i guess its not lol

Update :
Ordered my Moser 9" rear 35 spline spool, fill/drain bung, 4.30 gears, 1/2-20x3" studs, lca relocation bracket, brake line brackets, sway bar hardware, etc;
also on order for xmas gifts : SLP line lock, Pro 5.0 shifter with the ws6store short stick, blackhawk air filter
looking forward to a strong 2016 season
and there is a good chance that I will be doing a Tick performance cam only package stage 2 SNS regular lobe, 7.4 hardened pushrods, BTR .660 double beehive valve springs, oil pump, ls2 timing chain.

Day 1 of project 9 inch swap...
old rear is out. backing plates are installed on new axles, bearings are pressed on, studs are pressed into rear end housing, shitty gasket they sent ripped so grabbed one from advance and will hopefully continue tomorrow.

pretty much done with it. I need to push it onto the lift one day this week to tighten everything up underneath and need to install the brakes and run the lines/brackets and fill it up with fluid spent about 18 hours this weekend working on this majority of it by myself.

Update: Hydraulic issue is fixed seems to have been a bad master cylinder
-pro 5.0 shifter with the ws6 short stick is installed (nice feel to it)
-ran the switch wires for the line lock... so all I need to do is mount the solenoid/unit and the lines and bleed
with that being said im pretty much ready for spring 16' track time...I decided to wait on the cam setup a little as I think I can squeeze some better times out as a bolt on only still.

I also found a good deal on a magnaflow exhaust so going to be swapping the SLP LM1 out to the magnaflow
