Last time I talked to Bee Jay all was working well. His diff has steel cap in it also so I think he will be fine at the current power level. Still hope he chimes in with update.

Good to here he is doing well.
It would be great if he did chime in.
I think many miss his comments and help on the forum.

Hey Guys! I'm still here. Spending time on the C8 forum since I bought one last year, and on the C6 forum since I bought one five years ago. Neither is as friendly as you guys on the C3 forum. Did you see my article in Corvette magazine? BTW, the caps are holding up great. Been to about a dozen autocross events, and holding up great. Off course I have a 2500 rpm stall torque converter to cushion the launches

Great that you chimed in.
Wow, what a beauty you are standing next to.
You are a lucky man, and the Corvettes are nice as well.
We spent a week at Jamala Beach a couple of weeks ago.
We plan on going back in the Spring.

Glad to hear it Bee Jay! For the record he is running the 1330 to 1350 conversion u-joint with the caps plus upgraded bolts.
