Good for you! BTW, those rear tires look HUGE..... Were they any good for traction or do you think a set of DR's might serve you better?

Car went under the knife again today and I pulled the diff out again and boxed it up for its trip to DTE.
My driveway looked like a performance shop today, my truck was getting brakes and brake ducts at the same time
30 min later
20 min after that

Hey man for no lift and 90% handtools I was tearin it up 
. And no the tires dont do anything for traction in the car lol, I didnt even go past 1/2 throttle and that was enough to make traction control come on in 3rd. I have the BFGs in 345s sitting in my garage and I imagine that will do better but 1st and 2nd will still be a handful. I got the Pilot Sports because driving on the BFGs in the rain was almost impossible with stockish power it will be a death sentence with this setup.

Yea im going to overnight the diff to DTE and hopefully I can get an idea from them when it will be done by the end of the week. There are still a couple things I need to do to the car before I take it to school with me. Im going to do the roll bar while its sitting on stands waiting for my diff to come back.

Diff is on its way to DTE, I picked these up today
I laid them on the engine to get an idea of what will be involved to get them to fit, the passenger side really wont be all that bad but im going to have to mutilate the drivers side. While they were sitting on the engine I was really leaning toward not using them and just relocationg the coils and get my valvecovers done in red instead.

Glad you're bringing that beast down here to ATL, those dyno videos don't do its sound any justice.
Let me know if you need any help getting settled down here in ATL!
