Thanks guys I appreciate it. I dont think I am gonna knock 6k on a dump. I have been waking up early and working at night to get it ready. I changed some studs today and got one draglite on, holy ****, thats a lot of grinding! I am getting some vibration at about 75mph+. I dont know what it is, but I can only imagine what its gonna be like going 110. I had to grind the weight down on the drive shaft a little cause it hit my bolt on the front of the tunnel mount torque arm, maybe thats it? Hoping its not the pinion angle, I set it with the madman method, to about 2.5*. I guess if I have time I can adjust, then take for a drive, then adjust some more. My rears are supposed to be here by friday, then I have to get the tires mounted, again. But so far so good, looks like I am gonna make it.

Damn I want to go with you guys. I am waiting on paperwork to get insurance on mine. Maybe I will get it before Friday. It sounds like crap with my exhaust cut off after the cats though.

Also if I run it too hard I may be looking for another rear. It doesn't sound healthy.

You need to do some adjusting to the shifter.

I found the pine valley race on youtube

I have the same shifter and all I have to do is hold pressure to the right and push up and it goes into third every time.

I'm gonna say 11.75 for me, since we discovered two coils acting up and a minor miscalculation on the the maf. We adjusted the maf where it needed to be and I have the replacement coils, so we shall see.
