This is good to know. I was actually thinking the same thing.

I was gonna get 4.56's from hardtop guy (and a reinforced diff?) - but this seems like a good alternative.


pup - let us (me) know how this turns out

Pup, If you are only swaping the pumkin with the 4:77s already installed and don't get Danny to do it PM me. I can do this in my garage for a reasonable fee. Performance Driveline is excellent for the gear install and setup but you don't need that level of expertise if you are already buying the setup installed. There is also a break in Heat cycle you should do with new ring & pinion. I was one of the first guys to use this shop and they are top notch. You will Love the 4:77s

hi guys,

so i finally had the 4.77s installed. on advice from people in the delval forum, i took the s to performance driveline in danielsville, pa. danny is the main guy there. does almost exclusively american rwd cars (and alot of trucks), but has worked on several delval s2ks.

it's early, but i can safely say i'm very happy with the work. he was able to fit me in and do all the work in about 4.5-5 hours...he really seems to know what he's doing...

driving impressions? it's exactly what i thought it would be. i honestly wasn't completely wowed, since i have had gears on other cars, i knew what to expect. not too take anything away from the 4.77s; they really wake the s up, and put a big smile on your face

i'm gonna probably switch over to the heavyweight redline oil soon. but first off this weekend i have to install the yellowbox; i apparently was driving 90+ all the way home on the turnpike (gps was reading ~75)

again, thanks guys for recommending a reputable place for the install.

let the modding being; i was able to hold off for almost two years w/o anything major. now the gears are in, the white volk TAs are on order, as are some springs, testpipe, etc etc etc...

Nice. You shouldn't have a problem if Danny set it up.


For the aftermarket stuff.........................wait to see what Francesco will sell. Actually he will sell everything just give him time sometimes it isn't even a lot of time.

"28"...that's a 14% correction, right? that's about how much my speedo was off from my gps last night...
