Broken Rear Fixed.

Got my Vette back yesterday.

Great install by Ed on the rear.

Great rear from ZIP. Cryo hardened case, 4.10 gears and internals. HD Left & Right shafts and my old DTE Brace. Will test @ the Annual Vette Challenge.

NO WHINE. I am a happy camper.

Default Rear?

Mike, here, Black 05 vert, was there that fatefull day. Met you at Ed's on dyno day. What exactly did you put in there? C5 or C6? Aftermarket? I think I saw Zip's offerings, but I know there where several. Doing my engine mods right now & researching the driveline. Yes, building from the wrong end, but b/f I end up w/ what you had to endure, trying to be forward thinking.
