Mark,

Have you tried a gear set that's been REM polished? Just wondering if it's worth doing or if it's all hype. They claim lower temp, friction and noise.

Not to chime in on behalf of Mark, but I asked GearFX a while back about that - they said yes REM really lowers temps, but it would have no impact on noise.

We're putting the DSE FN988 in our current project (uses the 8.8 center section in 9" housing) but it won't be on the road for a year or two.

I think Charleys new Camaro has that 8.8 setup, should be done soon.

Yes we are. I plan on having the Camaro at our show in November if anyone is bored. www.MCACN.com

Hi Mark, Would you be able to tell me what carpet kit you used on the project? Thanks

I’m not sure of the brand but it came from Heartbeat City.

I’m starting to get some miles on my Camaro. The car is great other than a little rear axle gear. Jody and Charlie thanks for the help on finding OE gears.

I have both projects cars running! Very rare occurrence.

Nice!

Did you end up making changes on the Camaro exhaust to something less quite?

Ha! Yes but it still might be too quite.
