Your question confuses me.

I'll try to clear everything up though.

The standard rear end that comes on a Bullitt is the 3.27 4-Clutch LSD. I'm getting rid of the standard for a gear type LSD. It doesn't replace my ring gear.

Nah, I'm keeping the gear ratios for now, I might step up, but we'll see what brings what. I'm comfortable at the gear ratio and can link entire courses in 2nd and 3rd, I don't want to bring upon unnecessary shifting during my runs because that will lead to instability during the drift.

HAHAHA! Thanks bro, I'm effing AMPED as well. Last year was amazing and I can't wait to see what 2009 brings for drifting. I could have done some events by now but they're regional, not local, so I would have had to done some driving and it's not THAT important, LOL! I'll just wait anxiously for the 14th so I can burn em up again!

I am not sure what the date is for my first event. Sometime at the end of April. We are trying to get some local events started. The nearest place to drift is an hour and a half away so its a bit of a drive.
