My guess is it would be on a weekend after the weather gets better. My guess is April or May.

Its probably going to be in that time frame. Right now I am slammed into the third week of March with more work than I can handle. Juggling being a new dad, keep Momma happy and getting the Corvettes out on time is running me ragged. But I promise it will happen this spring when the weather gets warmer and we can hang out with the doors open

I blew out a set of the Percy's aluminum gaskets on my old LT1. Replaced them with copper gaskets and didn't have any problems after that.

OT- I am cleaning out my shop. I have a full set of shocks that came off my 01 Z-28 with 25K miles. They have been just sitting there for several years. If someone wants them and will pay postage, let me know. Thanks

Copper's the way to go. Ran copper with my Macs and they worked well.

I had the percys felt ones (i forget what they are called) and they blew out pretty quickly...Then that's what I will get then. My car sounds like it has a turbo in it due to the fact that gaskets suck ...

Yes it is going to be a crazy summer lol.... I've got everything for the center section (Case, Detroit locker, gears, pinion support etc), and I dropped off the case at my powdercoater yesterday. Tomorrow I'm ordering the housing/axles and I decided to go with that Quick Performance housing instead of the Moser. The housing will prolly take 2-3 weeks before I get it, then I'll need to have it prepped and powdercoated also. I should have it all together and installed in time for some spring driving though.

Thanks man, I'm looking forward to some hard launches this summer, as long as the clutch holds up lol.... The Moser uses three mounting points that are welded on the housing and then the heavy cast iron torque arm bracket bolts to that. The Quick Performance housing uses two mounting points with adjustable heim joints and a much lighter tubular type torque arm bracket. Other than that, they're basically the same housing/tubes/axles and mounting points etc.

Thanks, I'll post up some pics when it comes together. Street use will be 315/35/17 Nitto DR's on the 17x11 ZR1's. Track will be the Nitto's, and hopefully a few track runs with some M/T DR's if Cody will let me borrow his.
