I thought "float" referred to whether the hub is retained independantly of the axle. In Mark's case, if the axle breaks, the hub/wheel/tire stay with the car, which is a "full floater". With a stockish 9" arrangement, if the axle breaks, the axle could leave the housing, taking the wheel/hub with it. 9" is a bad example, 10/12 bolt would be a better illustration. The second case would be a "semi-floater".

I'm sure I'm missing something...

Not in the near future. I have helped do the development work on a couple IRS set ups at work. There is a lot of development to get one to work correctly.

I'm happy on how the DSE 4 link works.

I was running a stock LS9 clutch. I switched to a Lingenfelter LS9 clutch with a higher clamp load. I had an issue with the adjustment and the pick-up point. The clutch was draggingwhen thepeddelwas fully pushed in. Seems like I had air in the system because it was good when I unloaded it last night. Going back though the set up to verify the stack-up.

Your Chevy II will be cool when it rolls out again with your new upgrades...

My paint still look great between all the rock chips....

I'll have to get it "tuned - up" after SEMA.
