Went to church today and prayed for Mike and his family. I found myself thinking a lot about him especially with the short time I've known him, Rest In Peace my Friend!

On a lighter note the 12 Bolt is in and it feels great, no gear whine what so ever. I'm really glade I swapped the rear ends because I found a lot of bolts loose or striped, meaning when I tried to tighten them up it just kept turning and not tightening up. My old 9 bolt was toast and very very loose compared to the 12 bolt. Now when the car shifts the rear seems more planted and firm thrusting the car forward. I love it! Thanks Josh

That sounds awesome man. How come you didn't send it here? All I was going to do was test it out and make sure everything was good to go just kidding bro.

The tires stick out a little on both sides, but it doesn't rub so it'll be okay for now until the new rims come in.

Not really LS1 do not need a lot of duration to make good power because the heads are that efficient.
