Great job!

I'm the one Pat called friday morning to ask about the fuel starvation.

Question on the differential. When I transition from 10a to 10b at Road Atlanta, going up the hill, it feels almost like the clutch is slipping and the car bogs a little. Is that the differential not being able to keep up when hot?

Yeah he asked if I knew "Mike the Powdercoater"

And yes that's what you're feeling. If it's bad enough, you'll actually see the revs jump and then settle back down once you get the weight re-centered. Very similar feeling to clutch slippage.

Funny that you ask that. With my LSD on exit from 10b I feel I get a little quick sudden wheel hop from what seems like it's coming from both sides. I just finesse the throttle a litte to let it regain control. Most times it's not all that bad. Might be different from what your experiencing with the VLSD?
