Well, ideally the 9:1 was supposed to be low enough to run high boost but not so low that I'd loose significant "around the town" power, so to speak. But, in reality, what ADC found was that because I had turbo spec heads done and a little more was taken out, my compression was actually more like 8.5:1, not exactly 9:1. . .but I think it's an ideal number, whatever my real CR really is (somewhere inbetween 8.5 to 9:1), since I don't have much lag at all, there's a reduced risk of detonation, and I still retain much of the around the town zip my 10:1 CR previously gave. . .

Maybe you could explain a little about their treadwear, noise, etc? (SORRY FOR THE HIJACK.... Thanks ..)

Actually, Derek, I LOVED THEM..
They are stickier than I thought any tire could be, and wore quite evenly. The tire noise was "desirable", though not quiet. Treadwear was on the VERY low end, but that is a given when you want sticky tires.
I wanted to get another set of S02 PP's, but they are discontinued, and I couldn't find another set. I was going to "settle" for the S03 PP's (I say "settle", when I don't even know for sure how well they work..), but wanted someone to back up either end of the spectrum that I had heard. Some reviews online stated they weren't as good as their predecessors, and a few people seemed to love them, ranking them far above the S02's..
Just curious was all..

Pretty much I explained to them that it failed on the dyno on a 4th gear pull making only 220 whp. It only had about 350 miles on it of soft driven miles. Anyways, even though I had more axles for more than 6 months (over year exactly) to fall under warranty, they still said send it back and they fixed it free of charge. Im not sure what was different the second time around because they sent back the same axle, but it fit perfectly. Maybe it was because they fixed the tripod.

PICS OF TURBO, ETC. I called DSS up yesterday, got an RMA number, they seem pretty cool about it, I probably won't replace the axle until I bust the stock one that's on. . . I'm not very happy with all of the problems we're having, these things SUCK. . .hell, the stock passenger side axle could take the 401fwhp. . .WTF?

But who knows for how long. You don't want to get stranded some were because you broke an axle. At least DSS is cool about fixing them. Hopefully everybody that orders one doesn't have to send one back though.

If I got my bearings right from looking at that picture, the mount will allow a little F-R movement, but nearly all of the rotational movement is eliminated?
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
