Well, what kind of goodies do you have in it, if I may ask?

I'm better off naming what is still stock at this point.

Basics: LS2 402 with AFR 225's, FAST 90mm, 244/250 cam. FLT Stage IV trans with vacuum modulator, 3.5" aluminum DS, Strange 12-bolt with 3.73 gears and pretty much every suspensiom mod.

holy wow I think I need to go to the bathroom now.
What made you decide on the strange 12 bolt over the dana 60? Or did you just buy it before the dana 60 came out?
That thing sounds like its ready to roll. I cant wait until my car is to that point. Right now I have lots of go, but nothing to hold it to the pavement. My butt puckers every time I floor it cuz pretty soon that cute little 10 bolt is gonna **** on me. Or the tranny, or the clutch.
Damn, I hope by the end of the summer to have at least a new rear and clutch. The tranny still shifts, its just gettin a little harder with the synchros gettin worn pretty bad.
Are you on MNFbody.com at all?? Doug Rippie Motorsports is having a dyno for us on saturday if your bored.

(I realize that the place will get edited sooner or later, but Im not advertising for him, just stating our meeting place!)

Sometimes I post on MNFbody as BLKTA. My friend Jody (aka Waterbug1999) is going to dyno there, so I'm going to watch him dyno.
I bought the 12-bolt in early 2005, so the S60 wasn't out yet. Get the new rear end, trans and clutch. It's worth the piece of mind. I have driven this setup to BIR and CFR without a problem (except getting stuck in the rain). I went through a trans and flexplate before upgrading.

Yeah, I have been talkin to Jody on there, but I have never met him in real life. Im excited to put a name to the face.
So, I guess I will see ya there!
My name is Cody by the way... whats yours?
And yeah, I am goin to England for the summer for a study abroad trip, so while I am there I am gonna be goin on a spending spree, and when I get back I plan on using whatever money is left for the dana 60, a mecleod street twin, and a tranny rebuild with upgraded internals. So, hopefully by the end of the summer, or early fall, Ill be able to hit up the track to see what my heavy car can do!

See you there. My name is Gino. Enjoy the trip and don't worry about the car. It will be here when you come back.

haha yeah, that is what my dad says... the car will always be there, but England for the summer will not always be an option once I get out into the real world. So, I will enjoy it, but I know I will be missin the car.
I will see ya at the dyno Gino.
I wont be there until around noon, cuz I have to work, but my work is only 2 minutes away!
