Motive 3:73's, Timken bearings, ARP cap studs, clutch tune and bolt it back up. That put the hurt on my disc brakes. But the day in day out reality is I'll appreciate the gear change more often than a brake upgrade for the majority of my usage.

Done!


I feel very fortunate as there are very few decent automotive resources in our area, but Roy's Differential is an Oasis. Roy's is a one man shop that small, clean and organized for efficiency. Roy is in his sixties with a drag racing background and all he does is rear ends and predominantly Chevrolet and Ford. He has a large inventory of Motive gear sets in stock and has years of experience setting them up.

My timing was such that he met me at the shop this morning and pulled the cover, went over the details and he said it will be ready Tuesday.

What was nice was he spoke highly of the 12-bolt's design and durability and the simple fact that they put more horsepower to the ground than a 9".

Great news Sieg. You spending night at the track or getting a room? I may need a ride into town.
