  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Let me start off by saying the speedometer is accurate and it definitely, it changes the performance of the car faster on the butt dyno. it's not tuned.
The fastest time I was able to get beforehand was 5.3-5.5 0-60 ( which isn't bad on a road around the same road number as a Scat/RT on 245s) still on 235 tires i only have some light mods , secondary cat delete, k&n air filter, intake flap delete, i have not tested the 0-60 time after differential swapping i will try to tomorrow...

the process it is kind of tedious and hard to do by yourself, but I did it remember use the 3.8 sedan axels...

This sounds interesting. Please keep us
So update 1# i'm very pleased with the performance increase especially at higher speeds However I need bigger tires i tried three times to do a 0-60 launch and i'm i'm doing one wheel peels he fastest time I was able to get was 5.4 out of the three attempts.
 
2# the car is a lot funnier worse on gas ⛽️ it's kind of more dangerous in the rain more torque and its a open diff lol but it's worth it i would definitely recommend, im getting bigger tires off facebook market place👌 🤣🤣🤣
 
I acquired mustang 5.0 20in 265 wheels... I need new tires tho....1000005875.webp
 
The gas mileage is trash and if not LSD converted the 0-60 time is the same whether if you start from second or first a whole lot of power wasted lol i'm like, I said, though it does make it faster.Especially at highway speeds i bought a 3.9 LSD to recover some MPG, I'm gonna try selling the 4.18.... i will up date lol

Nice numbers.

It's fun when I can get the ZL1 to do a sub 3 sec 0-60, but it's always via tire spin (and line lock burnout) ;-)
Damn.
