In reply to Nick (Bo) Comstock:
"A Blast to drive" is an understatement! This fall once it was off the road I pulled the center section from the 8" Ford and had it rebuilt with a Clutch pack style limited Slip Differential. I considered changing up to 3:55 gears but in the end left the 3:00 Gears in place. As it is with the 3:00 gears it feels like you have been rear ended when I tip in the back two barrels.
Now that I have a known quality on the rear Diff with the LSD I plan to see what it will log as 0-60 and in the quarter. In as much as there are no race tracks around here within a days drive I will find an appropriate stretch of country road and use the Dynolicious iPhone App to obtain the times.
Will report results when I "git-er-done" in the spring.
