I put the brace on the other day, wasn't too bad of a job. The front diff mount bolts where a bit of a pain. I've never been to a track with the car, mostly just a weekend driver. I do plan on making a couple visits this summer though. I've got MT Drag radials in the rear, so the traction on the street should be pretty good, I hope...

Did you use a torque wrench on the rear cover bracket?? ...I could not get my torque wrench up for the top 3....

I was able to get the top bolt with the torque wrench. I used the "I think it's 24ft lbs" method for the others...lol...To be honest, though the eaton removal took longer, it wasn't as aggravating as the IRS Brace install.

I got the billetflow brace, i heard that sometimes you'll have to make a small modification on the Steeda brace to get it to fit. I was refering to the eaton supercharger that I removed...much less of a hasle. I think I'm going to roll the dice with the rest of the rear being stock. I'll address it when something breaks..lol. The only thing I'm on the fence with is a new clutch. There are many who have a Whipple on the stock clutch with no problems. With me, Murphy's Law is always present. With my luck I'll go to the dyno and the clutch will start slipping. So that's my dilemma

Install new Strange Front Adj. Struts, change oil, plugs, get car to chassis shop for an alignment, then hit the track for my assault on the 9 sec zone!!
