I paid $1k for a low mile c6z diff but I had been looking around for awhile before I found one... I basically just needed the case and ring/pinion and sent it to rpm and had a wavetrac and dss shafts installed in it, I came out spending around $2500 total after selling off the stock guts

I did the same thing. Now I wish I had spent a bit more for the high HP drag version of the coils I bought.

I'll get what ever still allows for cornering. I'd like to get the best traction I can while still being able to out corner porsches etc.

I sometimes spin in second with the r888s, sometimes it hooks. That's at 35 psi. That's about where I'm okay with as far as not hooking goes. Really don't want to do a 15 inch but who knows. In 5 years it might be a 427 lsx with a ysi and 15s. Seems the way it goes.

I had a similar thought when I started my project but as I got further into it and I had to remove the front sway to route my manifolds I said F it and decided it would essentially be 1/4 and 1/2 mile use only.

I bought their standard Street Performance coils but I really should have went with the Drag High HP or Pro Touring.

My little baby Si trim runs pretty good for what it is. Now I am overspun with a 3.33 pulley and overdriven balancer and flipdrive in 10 rib. I guess it's all getting the combo right.

Thats nutty, 3.33 AND an OD balancer? what are you spinning the impeller to 60k?

And here I was worried about going down to a 3.6 with my OD balancer.

Numbers?

Made right under 700hp and 650tq on what is supposed to be a low reading dynocom Dyno. So it should make a little more on dynojet I bet. However power comes in early and feels good. Something like 57k ish rpm on the impellar.

It's engine oil fed supposed to get away with overspinning that better than self contained.
