Being honest about your feelings is the first step to recovery Dub.

After much debating and searching, I have ended up with the new Speedtech Chicane 9" --accompanied by their torque arm setup.

It was the free shipping to RTTC in March---you know me.

Blake, thank you very much!! Fed Ex going out tomorrow to you--

Good for you Doug! Blake and Speedtech are a real asset to Lat-G and work hard to earn the business, like numerous other Lat-G supporting vendors. Lat-G is a great example of the potential value forums posess for members and supporting vendors.

Vendors - Your support is Appreciated!

What are your thoughts on a speedtech 'certified' installer program? There's lots of guys out there like Speedway, Currie and others that certainly have the jigs and skills to ensure proper alignment. Just a thought...

I have to agree with Ron here, I would be jumping all over this if I could retro fit it to the 9" I just purchased from DSE. I am not in the position to buy a whole new housing, and I doubt mine would sell due to the custom width I ordered it in.
That being said it is a nice piece.

About time you were the guinea pig buddy. You are making some great decisions.

Doug E. Fresh.... the man who spends umpteen thousands of dollars on bad ass bulletproof parts to put behind, under and in front of.... his 220 horsepower motor with a flex fan and no tach.

I pmed blake, about the same thing.

I would buy a kit right now if i could, I dont need or want a new housing, Im not going to spend $4000 plus on a rear end again.

I have all the rear end narrowing stuff, i have done them before.


Not selling this as a kit is going to be the only problem. Other then that, looks killer and a super cool set up.

Oops, yeah--that's right---I forgot to mention that the front subframe came with it also--but I had to pay for the T-shirt----Blake is a tough businessman.

Dude, I told you, I added the 1.6 rockers to the motor---picked up 3 RWHP--the cam has a total lift of 420 now--when you pull the valve covers and the motor is running, you can actually see the rocker move occasionally---wait till you here it now--it doesn't even sound like the same car-It now has to idle at 300 rpm to get rid of the heavy chop and to have some vacume for the brakes. I have to put it in neutral at every stop light now.

Ironworks now makes a "Camshaft Floater" ---i'm going to do that next.--
