Still haven't gotten that sucker installed? I thought I remember reading you went to pick it up at 7:30 in the morning. I had mine in the day I got it from the UPS man... and that was at 10 AM.

Yep. I'm 21 too and I'm always in the garage messing with something on that car. My parents give me **** as well.

Let me know how that wavetrac works out for you! I might be getting one of those next spring.

Like said there are some, but also to keep in mind that for most, racing season is over, and those who install it, it all depends how hard its pushed. I suspect with this diff, it will be a few years before you get an idea who runs them and if they survive,

Give the cost diff, there is much to ponder. I would like to know as well.

well i got the rear gears heat cycles and initial break in like MWC said to. Now im just waitng on 450 easy miles before i can rip on the damn thing. I can tell you this right now. Low speed neighborhood driving, car feels 100% different in a better way. I could feel a difference in my old diff going around the turn into my neighborhood and with the wavetrac it just goes smooth and now. I love the damn thing and i havent had it over 25mph!!!

i cant tell you this, @ 500 miles im taking it straight home, putting my new fluid in, bolting up the ET streets and driving it straight to the track to see how it takes a redline launch. Everything ive ever read said it will handle it, and for the price i sure as **** hope it will lol but if it doesnt, eh, ill get the lifetime warrenty to replace it, sell it, and buy a spool lol

I put roughly 130 miles on mine before I gave it a 4500 launch at the track. No whine or any other problems. Couldn't wait for the 500 miles break in period.
