Good man! Would love to take a look at your setup once everything is up and running. So when/how did you meet Andy? I was a very early customer of PPP and Jeremy. At some point he hired Andy and there you have it  I shipped my car to PPP and flew out there later to pick it up with my first 426. I had a few, ahem, issues with that build. That is a very long story. In any event, he is great guy. btw, he is not the one performing any of PWRs work...he is a contractor who has an excellent understanding of engine dynamics. He establishes agreements with the shops he uses that will meet his specifications. Heck, he can't even spell "works"  |

Hehe, ya special OPs -Wavetrac rear with 3.23 gears -SLP line Lock -retune and redyno with increased compression and less-than-wasted pistons I also have one of Legmaker's fender-draw air intakes coming. There are dual Aeroforce gauges sitting on top of my fridge also...gotta get those in next weeek-end. I am also picking up another set of blue giant injectors to have milled down so they fit without the spacer below my fuel rails. You know how it goes Jon, Curious why you choice Wavetrac over Qualife or Getrag straight bolt on? I am also suprise/shocked you opted for 3.23 over the 3.73 gears? Cant wait to see & ride in your new retune Monster! |

I didn't want to deviate too far away from stock on gear ratio...I take a few looooong trips every year, 1000+ miles. I don't need Getrag, I already have the DSS 1000hp half shafts and the Quaife isn't honoring the warranty any longer for the most part. If I wouldn't have already had the DSS axles, I would have purchased the entire Getrag set-up along with the correct driveshaft. High Horse Performance made me a smoking deal on the Wavetrac w/new gears. |

Beside, I was going to invest in Exxon & Chervon along with Oil companies ;D Let me know how ya like the LSD or is that a full posi? |

Yes, it is a true LSD. I will post up once I have some miles on it. I'll get a hold of you my next trip down there for the exhaust manifolds...I would have SVS swap mine out but man, I already have a lot on my plate when I get there.
If you are going to port them out soon then hang on to them and I'll take your stockers...otherwise I really need to get mine fixed.

I can ask Eddy if he mind using discount to get em back up to before ya head out. Might as well, since they are going to be working under the hood. |

That's cool, but actually they will be at the rear end and then the brakes under the hood. Exhaust manifolds are a bastage, plus I would need to port those ones first before I leave for CA and I am pretty sure I can't hold myself to that committment I'll just get them next time I come down...I am going to try to make the RMR meeting. |

Dude, if you haven't yet seen John's (King Savage's) car, you should. Its MEEEEEEAAAAAANNNNN!!!! He brought it by my house and my neighbor was smart enough to say 'I bet that thing can break them loose, can't it?' . Yeah, so there you have it... about 120 feet of treads out of my driveway and down the street. Even my wife was impressed and said I could do it... until she saw the price tag. Instead she decided to blow hers apart and get a new build. I want to upgrade the Magnum from the oem 3.07 to about a 3.23 as well. One problem, I'm AWD so I have to spend twice as much with two differentials. |

pssshhhhh 3.06 and 3.23, just kidding. If I had to do it over, I wouldnt havent opted for the 3.73 as its a little much more gearing for a 5 speed automatic but it sure is a blast to tear around in the city. IMO, perfect gear ratio for our cars would have been 3.55 with 5 speed transmission and 3.73 for 6 speed transmission.

Mike McCoy @ Gears Transmission in Lehi, did a great job on mine for a really fair price. I would also recommend geting a transcooler cause with that high of a torque convertor is going to kill your transmission. |

Now if someone could tell me where I could get both my front and rear diff rebuilt I'd be happy. Apparently that's not much of an option... no wonder the AWD LX's don't have extremely fast times without a lot of power behind them... I haven't found one AWD that has custom gearing yet. I may be stuck with the 3.07 my ride came with...  |
