That's cool, they have a great reputation. Honestly I have never heard a bad thing about them. As long a you guys are on the same page you should be good. Do you have your CHRA? I thought Hoss still had it? I want to take it back, those fittings they put are BS, I know they have the good tapered brass ones like I used, but the guy Hoss talked to is a lazy piece of ****. I need to go talk to Tim and get the right ones.

You guys would have been much better to just do the the normal upgrades , fit the stock kits , iron out the bugs then work on improving it from there ... SERIOUSLY !
Lets face it - you are going to do that anyway even after all the "improvements" you are doing pre install .

In yr from now once you are up and running (hopefully) you will look back and wonder Why TF you did half the things you are doing .

I don't understand... What will we need to be doing after our own improvements? My idea is to throw it in and never remove it again until its time to rebuild.

I suspect you will understand why it's funny to me 6 months or so after the install . Maybe not . It's just that for the first 6 months after my install i seemed to be constantly under my car LOL

Its actually pretty cool...The metal on metal parts are moving very freely with no resistance at all. I'm very curious to see how this will effect my spool up times .

I can't wait to do my diff!!

Its a finishing process.

Basically they super finish the metal then coat it with this very thin treatment making it super slick with very little friction.

A little bit, I had a fair amount of powder residue once I cleaned it up it was nice and smooth.

I am very interested in doing my diff...
