It's well known that anything but GM gears will whine in a factory center section. Hell, my GM 3.91's are kind of noisy, but I've got all poly bushings and an LPW cover too.

You won't destroy your diff first, you'll destroy your axles. Ask me how I know, lol. The factory bushings are very compliant for a softer ride and they'll allow far too much movement with a hard...

Another update: Found a problem I created due to inattentiveness, and it made a huge difference in ET. It also might mean I have to get my car retuned. I'll get to that in a moment.

I watched your vids, definitely a help. I'll purchase that pedal stop and see how I like it. I'm going to do some math and see if I'm possibly revving out TOO far on my 2-3 and 3-4 shifts. I'm...

Nope, I've got my shift light set at 6850 for the 1-2, and then 6900 for the 2-3 and 3-4. By the time I react to the light, I'm hitting 7100 RPM pretty consistently. I know this because prior to my...

It was about 2000 feet, so I know it has an effect, but it's consistently about 2 MPH slower than it was before the intake. Here's a vid of the run: https://youtu.be/1qnxrjiXu1E

New update: After installing the 2 step, I've got my PB down to 12.20@111.28, with a 1.78 60'. I gained 19HP and 18TQ with the rod mod and dyno tune, but it's weird to me that my MPH has actually...

It's said it gains 8-12 peak horsepower, but my car actually traps SLOWER now. Here's the weird thing - I just ran my PB with it the other night, a 12.22@110.81 and a 1.84 60' time. Previous best was...

Yeah, it can be, but by the time I bought HP tuners and a wideband O2, it would have paid for my dyno tune. I'm not knocking mail order tunes at all, I'm simply showing there are gains to be had.

Mail Order VS. Dyno Tune - Results inside!

I installed a BTR Stage 4 cam, long tubes, an underdrive balancer and 3.91 gears about a year ago, and sent my ECM out to have a mail order tune done. The car felt great, drove pretty well, and aside...

Actually, I went in to Discount Tire to order my new 555's and they had a record of when I had my first pair installed - 7000 miles ago. They're not 100% bald, either, so I'm certain I could get 10K...

My 555s are pretty close to worn out, and I only have about 5000 miles on them. Lots of trips to the dragstrip though. So I don't know how much more life they have than M/Ts.

Every place I've seen prices 555 R2s the same. $432 each for 315/35/20s. I'm about to buy a pair myself, unless I decide to drop down in tire size, but I don't really feel like spending $600 on a...

Almost 100% sure you nicked the oil pump seal on install. I did it to myself once on my Firebird's LS1, and I was mega careful installing it. Unfortunately, it's easy to do.

So, I'm going to need a new set of Nitto 555R2's soon, and a lot of places have my present size ( 315/35/20 ) on backorder. However, I can find 305/35/20 in stock all day long. Plus, they're roughly...
