up and running. only having 1 minor issue with the heat exchanger fans that i sent a message to whipple, just waiting on a reply. idles great tho, started right up... no leaks etc. the exhaust stinks tho and smokes but i know its from the new long tubes and high flow cats....
its actually way quieter then i thought it would be, honestly doesn't seem much louder then when i had stock manifolds which im happy about... i hate loud.
click picture below for video... i have no idea how to embed on this site lol

well the little issue i had was with the fans popping the fuse in the harness. turns out the harness was just shipped with the wrong size... easy fix. glad thats all it was.

Looking good man! Those tires are awesome too. I have the NTO5R's but am definitely getting those next. I was at a car show yesterday, about 200 cars and only S550's were the ones that I came with lol All classic cars, no car past 1970 won an award either. :shrug:went to a local show today, had a blast. also got my mickey thompson s/s tires mounted, hook like crazy. loving this car, its deffinitly an attention getter thats for sure. i was surprised tho, show had around 2000 cars and only saw 3 s550's

made some progress on changing the rear out and installing the axles. its actually a pretty easy job and could of been completed in about 3hrs but i ran into an issue with one of the ford racing axles, just waiting on there response. for anyone doing this swap here is a little info
rear comes pre filled
you will need a vent fitting. the stock one is pressed in, i happened to have a fitting that i was able to thread into the hole. i believe its 1/8th npt with a nipple.

I'm curious what problems you're having with the FRPP axles. I have a pair here that will be installed in the next week.

im sure its nothing to worry about, they stated they have never seen this before.
the issue im having is the axle will not slide into my wheel bearing. ive even removed the hub assembly from the car and tried tapping it on and just gets stuck. its causing marks into the splines of my wheel bearing as if a few of the splines on the ford half shaft are not cut right.
i know the wheel bearing is fine, i tried the other ford half shaft and it slide right in, i even have that good one installed in the car like the pictures above show.

yea exactly, nothing people should really worry about. gforce has been great and is taking care of me and already has a replacement half shaft on the way. told them id like to have it for friday and they did what they needed to do to make me happy. thats how to keep customers happy
so hopefully it slides right in so i can button up the install and put some easy miles on it to break it in. thinking a few hundred would be fine. the diff is brand new from ford.
im also hoping i wont have to reclock the driveshaft. hopefully no vibrations the first time.
