I've seen this at a Speed Inc open house a while back, and the detail of the install looked amazing. I took several pix....and as mentioned above...makes me rethink the big V6 route. Damn!

Re: TT LSX TY back down the track(video)

1st off vid will be up tomorrow....so after months of just driving it and avoiding the track due to lack of safety equipment I finally caved to peer pressure last friday,still at 10psi,still on 4 dr's,still driven 37 miles to the track.1st pass no cool down as soon as i got through tech I made the pass 9.7@140mph! and my 60' time was 4 tenths off of what it consistantly does due to a crap burn-out,so I truly believe that it would have gone a 6 or possible a 5 with a better(normal)short time.So after realizing the air must be really good I cranked it up to 17psi and went for another pass after a 1hour cool down.....do a much better burn-out put it on the 2 step,launch....something pop's and i come to a stop,assuming that the front cv broke iI called up AAA for a ride home:lol:anyways got it up on the rack and discovered that the rear diff let go,and after thinking about it Im really not suprised after all it was a stock 1970 12 bolt diff,so it has now been replaced with a detroit tru-trac,and I am heading back to the track on the 15th of Oct.......8"s or bust.......something else!!!:tup:

Congrats on the pass!

What exactly let go in the rear-end?

From an LSx builder myself, NICE WORK. I can't tell you how much I love seeing a stock appearing Sy / Ty haul the mail like that. You will better that time easily and I will be watching for it!

Well done.
