This looks really cool. Unfortunately with my 3.91 rear end, my car runs out of gears at 167 miles per hour. I would think that I should be able to make it a bit faster than that when the new engine is up and running. Their website says that a stock Z06 hits about 170. I think my new engine should have a bit more grunt than the Z06. Maybe I should look into swapping in a 3.33 ring and pinion. That would bump my top speed to 196 mph. Or I can put the 3.45 ring and pinion back in that the rear end came with and rev 200 more rpm to get the same top speed.

I got to stop daydreaming and get back to work.
