Default Drove car for the 1st time after installing the Moser 9"

Was pleasantly suprised. Have the 3-channel setup. No ABS light. Got the PST driveshaft from EPP. No drivetrain vibations from idle - 80mph. Very little gear noise (had the gears set by Va Speed...not Moser).

Overall, it acts land sounds like a stock rear-end. What I did notice was that traction increased a fair amount. Using the True-track posi + had LCA drop-brackets welded in from Moser. The LCA's are parallel to the ground when the car's static, and that plus the -2 pinion angle I set really help the rear tires dig into the pavement when I get on it.

The change from 3.42's to 4.11's was pretty darn noticable too. I had a STS Turbo installed w/ the 3.42's. Car's now NA w/ the 4.11's. I swear it's faster to 60mph now than when it was FI. It'll damn near rip my head off in 1st and 2nd gear

Overall.....very happy w/ it.

BTW, I run Sumitomo HTRzIII 17" tires. Grip ver well on the street.

I'm glad to see your head is still attached, and that the car is running well for you! Bob

Thanks Bob, No issues as tested from 0-90mph now....so that added length for the input shaft to stop vibrations must be working
