Very nice!
Are you having a local shop do the diff work? If so do they also install ring & pinions? I'm in Milwaukee and have a friend with an 06 GTO who has had no luck finding a shop locally that wants to touch a rear diff or install gears.

They have a two wheel and a four wheel dyno. Vince is the sales guy, and they are the only ones I let work on my car.

Yes sir. Have you run your car at GLD before the new diff? I ran a 12.91 bonestock a week after buying the car in 2010. Last time at track I was having a tcm tune issue(hanging on the rev limiter 1-2,2-3) after i had vararam and longtubes. I now have a ported fast 102, ported tb, axleback and a 3000 circle d stall now with a pat g tcm tune. l am going back when it's a little cooler to hopefully crack 11's.

I can relate to the driver part. On the runflats my best 60ft is a 2.0. I see some guys have done low 1.9's to high 1.8's on the same tires.
I kind of figured your car spent more time taking corners when i noticed the pfadt coil overs. I plan on trying road america or black hawk one of these days.
