Man, that's the cleanest garage I've seen yet! Where you at, Beverly Hills?
Congrats on the new gears! I knew you would love the extra power. Even with 33.5" tires, I'm only off by 2mph. I wonder if the ECU knows that the new gears are present, and adjusts accordingly. I'm around 2100 RPM @ 70. I love the extra power, and I agree, at around $700 net cost, this is the best overall performance upgrade we can do with the V8. For me, I went with completely new gears since I did mine fairly early (really wanted the ARB locker), so I wanted new stuff.
However, I don't want to be a kill joy, and I appreciate posting your experiences, but I only spent around $950 total on new gears and some parts, plus around $500 for install. I recommend that may be a better way to go for others thinking of the upgrade. For the time and heartache of looking for the parts the the junkyard and you get fresh new gears, this may be a better approach?
Anyway, enjoy the new-found Pathy.
