after getting the shat kicked out of me 2weeks ago by a viper, yesterday as i was taking my usual leisure sunday morning drive i found a Z28/LT1 hunting me down. as he got next to me i could clearly hear a whine coming from under his hood as we waited for the light to turn. as the light went green he sat there spinning his wheels as i feathered the clutch, turbo spooled and SSEEEEEEYYYAAAA MOOOOTHEEERRRR EFFFF'ERRR!

stop light drag score: 1 in 0

Nice kill. That sounds like a strong turbo LT1 you've got. Give us more info on the setup.

SICK. How much boost are you running? Any track numbers yet? That's freakin badass.

Haha, what tires and rear are you running? You're gonna need some sticky bias plies to make that thing hook well.

Damn, dude, time to build that drivetrain to handle the power and the suspension to make it hook! What gears are you going to run with it? 3.73s?

And to give you a heads up, this PST 3.5" aluminum driveshaft comes with a LIFETIME warranty for any power rating and is much lighter than a 3" steel DS (for when you upgrade to the 12-bolt, or before if you want to change the 10-bolt for the 1350 yoke). My brother and I both have them on our cars and have been very happy with them so far (well, the LS1 version but this is the LT1 version).
