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.

Oh Yeah them M/T's Cody's got sitting in his shed.. Looks like we might have to wrestle for who gets to run them first

I can't wait man. It's been soooooooo long since my car has been on the road. You have no idea haha... Anyway, I'll have just over 1700.00/shipped into the entire 9", minus the powdercoating. That's piecing the center section together with a combo of new and used parts and also assembling/setting up the gears myself. It's got a used detroit locker and used gears, everything else is brand new. This setup should be strong enough for high 9's or better. The clutch I have now is an LS6 clutch, so I don't expect it to last long at the track. Looking at different options, but probably a Mcleod street twin, or Spec ceramic disk?

I have a personal goal of 11.2 @ 122-124mph or so. But,,, I'd be pretty happy with anything quicker than a 11.5, which is what I can legally run without a rollbar. The car still needs a ton of work before I'll get there, mostly suspension tuning.

Not my car, but that's a clean looking LT1 with a 396 stroker engine to boot.

I just want to make sure im getting my moneys worth out of these mods cause im not going to be putting any more $$ into the z28 found out I got a little LS1 lover on the way! He or she will be born in Oct sometime!!!

Weird...sounds like a P.O.S. but who knows. And if the construction of the hood was at fault I would tell the guy to go fly a kite and pay for shipping himself. To ship a hood is damn near a couple hundred bucks. There are so many things that can go wrong when shipping a hood that if you did get it and something was wrong with it, then what?? You eat the shipping again? What Company did you buy yours from?
