i drove it to the gas station and didnt get on to hard but it pulls harder in the higher rpms. i think once i do the ls7 clutch and 4:10 gears it will be about done for now.
One problem i got is the driverside y hits the floor where its flattened maybe i didnt center but its a tight fit under there.
Now its time for the tune.
