Hey...Guess what???...I have a broken tail shaft housing...That is why my camaro wasn't there. I guess 650hp is too much for the stock trans mounted torque arm/transmission.

yeah. the reason it broke, and you can ask ProStockJohn b/c it happened to him too, is the stock steel driveshaft is junk. On top of that, a trans mounted torque arm is one of the stupidest things GM has ever done. those two together cracked the housing. So I am picking up a new one from Phil@FLP when I sell him my nitrous kit tonight, and it should be in the car and back together friday or saturday. I am gonna stay with the 4l60e for the rest of the season, but over the winter, i am gonna go with something that can handle my big plans.

Hey man, I like Bronson of Death Wish fame. Don't hate on him like that.

I should have thrown the extra pickles that she forgot to bring me right in her ugly face. Where's a rubber mallet when you need one?
