hmmm.... running pretty dam close to your setup, this is making me sad. Seems like we should be into the 11s without too much issue. I need to get to a track and see what I pull, though I know I'm on the last leg of my stock clutch as is....

Do you know what your pinion angle is? I know when I installed my lCAs and UCA I had set them to the factory length and put them in, but everything was still way off, just didnt seem to drive right till I took out the tape measure, adjusted the lengths of the LCA's to center them in the wells and equal distances from the fronts, then you need a magnetic angle finder to adjust that UCA to get the approriate angle. I belive your shooting for -2 but its been a while seance I adjusted mine. I hear some guys shoot for even more pinon angle to sorta "preload" it but thats getting a little more in depth then I was going for. I still drive this thing on the street often.
