6MT diff install progress
probably wont be able to fit 3.90 or 4.08 in there right since its off a auto?
and did u guys swap the diff bushings to the urethane ones? notice any difference in ride quality?

I swapped to the whiteline kit, my diff bushing was toast so why not. Drivetrain feels less sloppy, car has a tighter feel to it but like I said my diff bushing was wasted so take that fwiw. Cheap mod and you might as well do it if your replacing the diff.
Well keep paying attention Coop because if this stuff doesn't do the trick my next step will be to give Andre at Edge Racing a call to build me a converter. He built my Titan converter and it shaved .5 off the quarter mile time. I figure the same build for the G will net even better gains. 3400rpm 2.2str.
Yes, I switched to the 4.08's, but that still wasn't as gratifying as the TC. And... it went quickest with the taller gearing. I broke the car trying to go faster with the 4.08's.

However, such fun to drive on the road!

Now you're talking! I recall the most gratifying change was when I went to the Level Ten torque converter. It was only the stage I version, but BOY did it love that. Even with the OEM 3.69 gears for the 5AT.

Well looking at it cost wise , I know the converter will cost me around 4-500 and installing it is about the same so say 1k total . Going with 3.91 gears will probably run me right at 1200 and I'll recoup 350-400 of that so call it 850.00 . Drag radials and a set of rear wheels will run me right at 1k. Each of these will for sure put me solidly where I want to be but the first two are more permanent. I gotta see what happens this Friday. Time to break out the tools and install this XYZ pipe and M370.
Did my installs today and it went great. Got a chance to do a few 0-60 logs to send off for tuning and I'm pretty good with the results. AFR's were way lean in the 13.8-14.6 range so that needs immediate fixing but it isn't as bad as when I put an LS7 TB on my Titan (16:1) On the silver lining side, I still can't get traction with traction control off I ran a 4.73, 4.69 and 4.62 with traction control on. Still believe this thing can rip sub 4.5's all day long considering I had a full tank of gas and a passenger . I posted sound video of the before XYZ , after XYZ and XYZ + M370 in this thread Post # 17

Okay, soooooo I'm a bit satisfied. Slowest time of the night was the run shown in this video. It was a 13.5??? with a 2.01 60ft. If you can see and hear it I spun through first gear just like when I cleaned my tires off. Best 60ft was a 1.9 even with traction issues. That happened on my first run with full tire pressure. However I learned two important things. #1 Keep your hands away from the shift lever in the 7at during launch. All it takes is a little contact and it goes to manual and you're stuck in whatever gear. #2 To really launch this car you absolutely need to do a burnout mod by installing a switch to disable VDC. The highest I could go without pulling timing was 1500rpm. Had I done the mod and dropped tire pressure down to 25lbs 1.9 60fts would be childs play. All that said my slowest time of the night was a 13.5 and that was untuned since I just added the M370 and wasn't able to get it done for the track. I'd say I'm knocking on my goal of a 12.8 if I can get traction, tune and launch without adding another thing. Don't have time to post time slips but I got 4 runs and one was a total goof ( 18 sec @8?mph stuck in 3rd ) the others were 13.4's. Enjoy.
