sorry to tell you Ben... You got the good old Zexel Torsion posi. That means your fucked so bend over and grab your ankles. Theres nothing you can really do but put a whole new carrier in there if its broken. You may be able to replace a few things but when mine made noise, it was because the whole carrier was cracked and broken. Always a fun thing when your car locks up on the side of the road and breaks a driveshaft in the process. (thanks to andy and Justin for being there for me that night)

Jamie, do you know of any good Mustang forums? I am looking for a set of Bullitt wheels for my car and can't find any close. I check Corral.net everyday and have had no luck. I will also be selling my Cobra wheels if you know of anyone that would be interested. Thanks, Jesse.

Yeah that is a little dissapointing . I was hoping.......(a waste of typing/ time was going to ensue) Hmmmmm LS1's never have that much timing in them. I dont know if i ever seen a modded one over 30 the tend have much less advance then GEN I + II's. Ive seen race nitrous GEN III's having LESS than 20. Anyway well not bad times, i guess dollar for dollar best of luck on your new project..........................

Also, check ebaymotors. There's always a ton of wheels and they usually have a "buy it now" price so you dont have to do the auction.

You can wish in one hand and **** in the other, I would have liked to see somthing better out of it. Since then the timing has bumped to 28. If I can get a center section I am gonig to change the gear out. Maybe that will help or maybe not.

Thanks, I might have one more chance this sat to race. Before its gone. If so it will be cool to see if a gear and a little more tuning will do anything. Thats if the title dont show up yet.
