Thanks for the compliment. I'm trying to save money again. The rearend I just bought took a big chunk outta my budget. I'm gonna buy the spool really soon and then a 4500 stall. The stall I have is setup for n2o and I don't spray often. I like to run on motor. I figure I won't blow through a 4500 on a 100 shot anyway. I should be at the track soon.

Update!! Well, my spool finally came off backorder. Here is the build up.
Out with the old 10bolt and in with the new to me 12 bolt.
Here's a few pics of it being assembled.
10bolt coming out.
I just need to finish switching everything over tomorrow and actually install the Moser 12 bolt. I also installed my new converter but, I forgot to grab the camera and snap pictures of it. I went from a 3500 to a 4500 stall. I'm pretty sure some of you are curious about how this thing is going to run and so am I. I have made plans to go to the track on Nov. 20th. It's the last time it's open until after the first of the year. I should have some updates on what kind of E.T. it turns then. It'll still be on a mail order tune so there will be some E.T. left on the table.

I wish I could. I gave it too my dad for his little build up. This rear has been in my car for a long time and it never gave up. When I was running the Ai383 with the 6 speed I was launching the car at over 4000 to get it to spin outta the hole and alot times it dead hooked, bogged but never broke.
I know, an adjustable panhard and some rear shocks are on the parts list. I'm gonna see how it hooks on what I got first though.
Thanks!
I have SFC's, LCA's, Ajd. TQ Arm, and Eibach Launch springs with a RR Air bag. Car seems to hook pretty hard on Mickey Thompsons. I'll find out on the 20th.

Small Update!! My tuner came through today and I actually got a better tune in the car. We tuned the cold start up, part throttle, and WOT. It runs about 12.8 afr at WOT with 38* of timing. Im doing some caliper grinding at the moment so, when that's finished I'll post some pics of the car with a drag wheel setup. I can't wait till next weekend. I hope the weather is good and the car hits mid 11's the first time out and about 11.0's all dialed in about this time next year.

I'm Ready........almost. Here are some pictures of the car with the drag wheels I'm using this weekend. Thanks MattSapp95_T/A!!! I just want to say grinding LS1 rear calipers to clear the drag wheels is a pain in the *** and I don't wish it on my worst enemies, well there is one can think of..LOL. If you look at the before picture you can see how deep the pockets were on the caliper. On the after picture they are nearly gone. It took me about 2hrs total to do it. It only took me 15min. to do my LT1 calipers. Here are some pics. Enjoy.
