Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S550 Heel-toe struggles.Still prefer heel and toe, it is a tango that has your shifter as your dance partner and I always felt learning it well was what helped me keep my transmissions alive. My Mach 1 had a factory blip shift and I never really cared for it. Yes I am... (see full post)
Father's day event was another Win for us in class and overall PAX. Attendance was down a bit (93 drivers vs the usual 130) so our local reigning national champion Christian (see post above) was at home for the weekend.Course was a tight course...-
What Steve said. I have used both the Autoblip and the Xingeneering units. The Autoblip is easier to adjust with knobs for adjustments while the Xing is more consistent while requiring g a laptop to make adjustments. .

It's correct. In Boss cars the vent is on the top of the diff cover. It makes seepage a little less likely. The stock GT diff cover doesn't have this feature so on those cars it's on the axle.
- Champale replied to the thread Boss Axle (No) Vent.A lot of us had problems with the Bob's catch can.
