Haha ya I think it all started when he showed up to the shop to work and was all pimped out wearing gucci shit! hahaha it was pretty much Gooch from then on!

Is that with the Hendrix axles? You might take them out or the dealer might swap them with the stockers.
Yup... Something had to be messed up with the one they put in, like it didnt have any fluid or something, ive never seen one blow like that with us BARELY on the throttle...
It was'nt a HP issue with this diff it was either faulty parts or someone sleeping while they were installing and not checking the fluids before sending the car out.
All thats needed is the 90mm Snout from Magnuson, 90mm TB, and LS2/LS6 TB Harness.
I'm gonna sidetrack this thread for a sec (sorry TOT) I saw your sig on your upcoming installs and I saw you're planning to go to a 2.6" pulley. Are you planning on running meth or anything to control the IAT's? Also what are your plans for dealing with belt slippage? I'm just curious...

I'm going to try to make it through the winter here before I get a meth kit put on. With the weather here in Colorado, I won't be driving too much as it is. And I'm assuming I'll have to go 8 rib setup for belt slip. I've been talking to Jesse at Wait4Me and he has a decently priced kit should i start slipping right off the bat. Someone had a nice technique to help with belt slip on CF a while back doing some mod to the tensioner. I'll obviously try that first before dumping cash for 8 rib. I'll see if I can find the link about the tensioner but I'm not too hopeful it will work.
EDIT: and of course, if im having too much problems I will just go back to the 2.8" until I get meth/8 rib setup. Also, by "Pending Install" i mean that the kit is ready to install now but I would like to get it cammed etc like our friend Justin did here and do it all in 1 shot. Though, looking at it sit on my work bench is getting harder and harder.
Its tuned! Were only seeing about 4-4.5lbs below 4500rpms and 5-5.5 to 6K. looking to upgrade pulleys asap to eclipse the 500hp goal overall the car is an animal, first and second gear is pretty useless but to let it lug down in the 1200RPM range and you would never know there was a cam in it.
As you can see from the first pull there was alot to be desired from the base tune. Vid to come shortly!
haha I try to preach that long and often! ive already mentioned it BUT 500 is the only goal he has and he likes his exhaust and the blower whine so its a win win 8PSI should put him right on target.
I hear ya on the turbo part but everyone has there own ideas on what they want. Ill put $100 on it making 500 with this setup wanna go?
Sometimes turbos arent what ppl want. Take a look at how just about every new 2010 camaro you see is getting the TVS! Theres about 100 ways to get to a goal and at the end of the day theres only one person that has to be happy about it
