Just did the line to lube valve on my 4l80e to stop the lock up clutches from dragging. Man what a difference! No more lugging the motor at idle in drive or coming to a stop. If you have a triple disc I highly recommend this.

Verdict is in on the 8.8 with 3.55s..... they are amazing. The car was insane before but now it's just scary lol. So far I've only had it up to 15psi with the new gears but it feels like a totally different car. FYI the car had 2.73s before

Drag radial abuse. Was trying to make some test hits today but it pretty much just spins the tires at any speed. Had a lot of fun though. Probably made 20+ hits today

Good luck to anyone getting hit by hurricane Harvey. I got my car up as high as I could which is about 3ft off the floor.

Well I repainted the car and the clear is much thicker than an oem paint job so I wet sanded the entire car in these steps 800-1200-1500-2000-2500-3000-4000. Then I buffed it with 3m step 1 compound followed by their step 2 machine polish. Then I finished it out with 2 more steps of glaze I like to use from auto magic. The end result is a mirror finish with no orange peel and straight as an arrow.

1 more thing, I wouldn't follow these steps with a standard paint job with a standard 2 coats of clear, this car was painted with a high solids euro clear with 4 heavy coats so I have plenty to work with.
