Me and the GF drove up to MAP this weekend to get my 4.10s installed. Great Price and Great service. Had my car in and out in 3 hours. Great guy to do business with. Gears are nice, too. No whine, lots more acceleration. Best money I've spent on the car yet!!!!

One of the best I know of! Keep him in mind if you need custom tuning.

Probably the best mod for the money..Enjoy!!


For sure noticed more with these than I did with my CAI and Tune and considerably cheaper.

Now to try to get my pinion angle right . . . .

Actually no, Mike tried to and it kept throwing an Error Code. I tried when I got home and had the same thing happen. Called Brenspeed and they are sending me a new tune with the gears and tires accounted for.

I'm also calling SCT Monday to try to get the problem fixed. Basically, it will upload tunes to the car, but it will not allow me to enter the area to adjust any of my options.

That had to be an interesting ride home with the speedo being off...what did you have in before the swap, 355's?

Do you have a Xcal 2 or 3?

I just used my GPS. At 74MPH on the GPS my Speedo was saying about 88. I have the X3 Tuner.

14 mph is definitely off, LOL!

Think they will send you a new Xcal?

Not sure, Brenspeed seemed to think that SCT could do a remote fix for it.

Mike said my bearings were shot and my pinion angle was all out of whack. I'm looking at getting an adjustable UCA to fix it, but the thing is I can't figure out why it's so bad. I just have the K springs and the UMI wheel hop kit (fixed LCAs and relocation brackets) Which, from what I've read by most people, shouldn't mess up my angle nearly enough with a stock 2 piece DS to do any damage.

thats weird for the pinion angle to be off like that


Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what the deal is. Mike said it was at about a +7 and he told me how to fix it, but I really want to know why it's so bad.

I could see where my car had had relocation brackets on it before when I went to install mine. So, I'm thinking that maybe the previous owner has somehow done something to it, but I can't figure out what it would be. Everything was returned to stock as far as I could tell. Until I saw that the car had had relocation brackets on it before, I'd never have had a clue the car had been modded at all.

I have a Steeda adjustable upper control arm with the solid end if you're interested?

I'd probably want something quieter than that one since it's a street car instead of a strip car, but thanks for the offer.
