    I got my DP installed by my mechanic on friday and i noticed the other day that undert intial hard acceleration there is a heavy vibration i can feel under my feet then its gone. I can be launching to WOT and only feel it for like 1.5 seconds or i can be pulling off from a light a little quicker than normal and feel the vibration for about the same amount of time. Any ideas?
    I just wish the police loved my car as much as i do 3.5,160 Stat,HAI,ZZP F/R STB, SSAC Headers, Reptile PCM

    Doesnt take much time at all. Less than an hour with a lift.

    Don't get on the throttle hard, it won't hit and you'll be fine. Get it done when you can...then slam the throttle and kill your transmission.

    Oh..it'll be a good idea to save up for that future transmission job.

    I flipped mine without a lift, just a jack and jackstands (orig one was broken, installes gm upgrade flipped) took less than 2 hours, would have been easier on a lift. I had to have the steering wheel turned all the way to one side, and disconnected a tierod end, made sure to keep it in the same orientation so no alignment was required

    Every W body I've had has needed one. Did em all on jacks. Trick is.. 1 foot or more off the ground.
