Chris,
Do they have these parts in stock now? I have heard the halfshafts were hard to find. What gear ratio will this put you at? Moving from a 3.06 to what?
Do you think with the supercharger I would need to have the car retuned if I got this mod?
I would love to see this happen and would love to participate:)

So is the swap gonna happen at Gordon's? I may have to wonder over to watch/lend a hand too if you don't mind. That would be great! Glad to have you there with a wrench in your hand. Oh man good thing is close to home might have to go see Come on, more the merrier. This may end up turning into a mod day, if we don’t have one before. LOL I bought the red ones front and rear. My fronts needed replaced but I did the rears also to reduce dust. Yeah, those are the ones I was planning on too. Chris, Do they have these parts in stock now?

Do you think with the supercharger I would need to have the car retuned if I got this mod? I would love to see this happen and would love to participate:) Jake said they have a few back east in stock, so I am guessing 1 week transition time from when I pay for them. He made it sound like they had the half shafts in stock anlong with Axle upgrade if wanted, but not needed. The gear ratio original plan was 3.92, but he missed quoted me the price, knew I should have went in that day and Charged it or something. So the new price with those gears is $2098 and Jake said he would take care of me. I was thinking 3.73 or 3.90. And as far as the Supercharger with new Gears, I would say yeah, you might have to get retuned for optical performance. I am thinking I have to change my settings to with the Diablo to work with the new gear set up. I will double check with Brett (budman) In fact he was going to post the part numbers to his exact same set up. And Yes, would love to have you there with us! |

So time is finally getting closer to purchase and this exact same setup when up in price twice, went from $1900 to $2400 and now to $3k. Talk bout being bummed out! Going to call around and see if anyone would be willing to sell this set up for $2500. Talk bout inflation and a downward economy! Will most likey try to sell current 3.06 gears and setup to re coup the installtion cost.

Finally getting project started. I have 2800 PI stall convertor Thanks Jon(Kingsavage), 3.73 LSD/226m Halfshaft, No Thanks To Moes as they sent me 2 right halfshafts and they have no phone support. Crank This Performance DriveShaft Loop, Thanks Cam @ctp an extra pair of Factory OEM SRT8 rims, (ebay @ $122 a piece) and 275/40/20 Nitto Drag Radials, just need to get HD Trans Cooler and Oil Cooler. I should be ready come track season April 2011, which seems so far away  So after much excitement and let down. I have found a kit that is in my budget. The original plan was to get 3.73 LSD kit from PWR for 1570 minus the $600 Driveshaft. Now I, just placed order for the same kit including the Driveshaft for $2479 which includes shipping cost. So when its all said and done. I spent $150 more than I planned but most places such as BMC & AllUSA have this kit for 3100 bucks. So I am still saving $600 bucks. |

Very nice mod setup, are you going to do the work yourself or a shop? Not sure yet! Dont want to burden Gordon our official expert mechanic. Mikey, Are you offering to help out? Sounds like it to me I am weighing the decision on doing it. If not, I have Mike McCoy at Gears and Transmission as an option, I believe Karl @ API and Dave @ Hinckley are currently busy doing other projects for fellow members. I wonder who LOL, I know, but I will let them inform us. Travis(hemi5757) has offered to do with me as a side project. He works at local Transmission shop in Orem, that his dad owns I believe. Besides with the new increase in cost of kit, that pretty much ate all my labor cost money. |

I am going to go Crazy, I want to pull my hair out! One road block after another.
Mopar sent me 2 right half shafts and no Left. I have been trying to get in touch with Moes performance. Not having any luck. I cant believe it, this has been quite the headache lately with the whole price change issue and now this.
