Heintz Racing is the old Williams Performance. Same place and people, just a different name. Nick decided that he wanted to run his machine shop full time and concentrate on that. He is still doing our tuning though. Hope that clarifys a few things.

Thanks guys. It has been a long time coming for Travis. He has thrown everything at it in the last year to get to this point.

I bet that was the grin on your face when you saw the time slip.

Awesome Awesome ride. Couple of questions, I don't know much about the GTO IRS, how much did you have to build it up? And how far can you go on the stocker?

I have an 8.8 conversion with 31 spline axles and inner stubs. The stock stuff has gone into the 9's but don't expect it to last at all at those power levels. Guys break stock stuff at alot slower times. It's kind of a crap shoot. LOL

So in other words your typical weak GM rear end that's a ticking time bomb? LOL. So what's the 8.8 out of an 03 cobra or something??

Yes, same as an 03 Cobra. I think his came out of a Lincolin Mark VIII though.

Wow pretty interesting read. Well if I end up getting a GTO I definitely will contact you guys to see what all is involved and how difficult putting the Ford IRS in is/was.

There's nothing to it. There is a bolt in kit that let's you stick it right in place of the stocker.

Just the pumpkin was out of a Mark VII with aftermarket gears and posi. The rest of the components are Hendrix-Engineering parts.
