Default Thanks Don

For the DTE stage 3 rear and brace and fixing the tranny. The car runs great. We were going to replace the rear anyway, but the tranny rebuild was a extra treat. If I didnt actually see the main shaft broken off I woulnt have believed it. I really busted it up the last time I was at the track. I learned you cant run the stock tires on a 600hp car and not pay for it. Oh well.
Now on to the new motor.

Recall you saw my demise. Sitting there at the end of the track dead in the water. Turns out the shaft on the tranny broke right off and gears were messed up. I'm going with a C5R, same D1 but with a 8rib and shooting for anything in the tens.

Rumor has it my the stage 3 is bulletproof. I think I'll wait to destroy it untill the new motor is in.. The clutch doesnt count, anyone making 40 passes, nothing is going to hold up.
