Also what fluid are you using on your t56 magnums?

On the ford 9" what fluids are you using? Weight, synthetic, non syn, brand etc? Any break in diff fluid either?
Thomson breaks my engines in on normal engine oil (Like 2W30 Valvoline) then I run them on Redline 10W40.

I run D4 Redline oil in my trans

I run 90W120 normal oil in my diffs like Valvoline of similar with a big diff cooler. Keep it cool and the non-synthetic work great and are quiet. On a side note, I have had C&R build and dyno my last two diff. It is great. They are set up correctly, they are quiet and do not require break in. I have tried synthetics and they have always been noisy.

Thank you. Im about to start adding fluids in my car. Its getting close. I was going to use some driven br30 break in oil and then switch to ls30 for the engine.

As far as the t56 goes i just started researching it.

The rear diff i was told to use reg diff oil but dse was saying they use driven 75w90 gear oil which is synthetic. Just trying to fig out why some use 75w90 and others use diff weight.

I can tell you it is not a Chevelle.... The next project will be a 1st Gen but after that we have had a lot of talk about what to do next.

It has run the gambit of C-6 ZR-1 to 32 Ford to AWD Porsche to a Pantera....

We are really looking at power to weight, CG and areo. A lot will depend on what OUSCI does with rules and if I still want to play in that space.

I have been in some sort of build for 10 years and I might take a break. I have some big projects at GM that are going to pull a lot of my spare time.

We have a lot of great cars that are turn key track cars.... Maybe I'll just buy one of those.... then tune it up.

Blueberries, huh? Hmmm, I've been told raisins are the way to go, but I can see how blueberries might help with antioxidants. They are a superfood. Wonder if you can mix them?

I think we're all in agreement on the 2% at least.

Thanks for the opinion!
