Yeah I swapped it out a month ago. Spool, 35 spline axles, and ARP 1/2"x3.47" studs. The car is getting a Mcleod twindisk in a couple of weeks and I'll be buying Billet Streetlites in about a month or so. I might also do a little weight reduction this winter. I'll be ready to hook and book next season.

I work at Wal-Mart D.C. 6074 in the freezer, and I make $19.45/hr. and the top pay is $20.45/hr. without incentive and I've only been there for 1 yr. and 7 months.

Yea, but your on weekends and freezer. Of course your gonna make more an hour. I'm weekdays and meat and produce, I'm taking the pay cut just so I have weekends off!

Oh and tell me how Dustin does this weekend since he left our shift to go to yours.

Wow that does suck. Remember, people are driving 5% less than last year. Thats over 2 billion miles less driven by people. Which means less chances of accidents. Hopefully it picks up for you.
