One of the best mod you can do to a N/A DOHC...

I've had mine for about 9 months now and believe that this is how they should have come from the factory.

Don't be surprised if you have driveline vibes at high speed with steep gears. My car needed an aluminum shaft to cure it.

Sounds all good then. I was just worried as never done this on a manual before. Did 3.73 on my Auto Z28 LS1 and was happy with it. I just bought FRPP Aluminium D/Shaft for $299.00 will fit that soon. Should I fit D/Shaft before or after Dyno Tune?
BTW All this is being done here in New Zealand. I know Sig says Japan but I live in both.

Ok picked her up and just got back from 400km long slow drive to wear them in. Feels interesting and cant wait to start blasting it haha. Two bad points so far are that at about the 300km mark of the drive the check engine light came on and a viberation felt when stationary in neutral gear.
Anyone know if the Aluminium D/Shaft will fix this vibration?

My car has a vibration at 120 mph. You guys say this is likely because of the gears?

misfire of some description? maybe caused by some old plug wires? idle air control valve? does the engine light flash or stay on full? if it flashes it shows a misfire. its hard to say for definate without pulling the codes.
