So, I took my car on its first trip outside of city limits. Drove to Ocala and back. Made it on less than 1 tank full, got 20mpg both ways... I can not complain about that. Did 85ish most of the way...

on a sad note, the play in my rear seems a little worse, and there is some vibration that comes and goes :( going to get that looked at this week.

I am with ryan, I am not planning on dragging that often, mostly a lot of road racing and driving fast, so the s60 seems a good setup. Never heard of a Dana before though.

I thought your car was a 6 spd?

the s60 is a dana 60. the s stands for "strange."

very nice piece. the 35 spline axles are pretty much overkill and the trutrac is very streetable. 24938649823 times more quite than my locker. fitment on the brackets is better than the moser 9" i have

i REALLY want a midwest 9" though
