Invincibleextremes Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 (edited) Looking forward to seeing what shane does with his kit. He was actually there at the half mile event when me and David were testing the very first super 8.8 swap. Now jason, shane and David all have the diff setup. All 3 of them have different generations of it but they're basically the same swap. Edited April 21 by Invincibleextremes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 (edited) Had a great weekend watching Jason's 3,000 lb datsun put down low 10 second passes effortlessly using the super 8.8 setup on cheap coilovers and stock control arms. He pulled a personal best of 9.9 @ 134 at the end of that weekend. Edited May 4 by Invincibleextremes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 Going to point out that jason hit a personal best of 9.88 @ 137.8 with his turbo 4.8 using cheap neon coilovers and his super 8.8 swap kit which has NO issues holding down the power. The second thing worth mentioning is now the latest version of the kit allows moving the wheel back up to 3/4 rearward. This is dependent on what you are willing to do up top to match, i designed and now offer conversion tops that move the shock back if using cheap coilovers like jason did. Using other brands of coilovers you can redrill the shock tower and rotate the camber plate if you like to squeeze a little more. 3/4 is about the limit because after that you run into the sheetmetal.

Invincibleextremes Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 (edited) Did an install this weekend and grabbed a photo of the 3.55 diff in my latest cradle. Edited June 13 by Invincibleextremes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 It certainly looks beefy and you can't argue with results! I'm curious what moving the strut back does for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 Moving the wheel back centers it a little better in the quarter panel opening and allows maximum tire to fit whatever your flare or not flare setup is. The stock wheel placement is heavily forward and the tires hit the front of the wheel well once you start getting too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post pics showing what has changed in the kit that allows the rear wheels to move backward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincibleextremes Posted June 23 Author Share Posted June 23 The tube section that the has the 5/8 bolt going through it is shorter by 3/4 and i now include that 3/4 long section for people to place in front of, or behind the upright piece. Or section it and space it exactly to your liking, depending on how your shock upper setup is. Moving the wheel back requires moving the strut top back as well to prevent binding.

Invincibleextremes Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Jason is rounding the final day of rocky mountain race week using this setup. He's 3rd place in the 10.00 true street class and drove a couple thousand miles so far in the course of a week and a half and will be driving that datsun home over 1,000 miles to California from kansas.
