Thank you. That's what I was afraid of. I was going to have the gears and clutch put in the same time I had the heads swapped. But then we wouldn't be able to dyno it so the plan is to have the heads installed first and run it for a week and then have the clutch and gears put in.

The other thing to keep in mind is the lower gears will also lower your dyno numbers, only affects any comparisons you would do later. I have been contemplating a FAST and I have my gears on order, if I do the FAST I will likely do it before I put in my gears just so I can get a apples to apples comparison.

Your differential was shipped to you or your installer with a 7-page warranty documentation packett, along with proper differential break-in and lubricant filling/oil change interval service instructions tie-strapped right to the differential case itself. Please make sure your installer gives you this very important information, as most installers find it convienant to just throw it in the trash and the customer never gets it... Review that paperwork to answer all of your questions fully and be sure to send in your warranty registration to activate your warranty coverage.
