Ok, lets do this. My first official group buy!

Who is interested in either 750 or 1000HP full axles? Get your power to the ground safely & eliminate wheel hop!
This would work for the G8 or Camaro differentials.

10 sets required to obtain pricing.
G8 with stock differential
750 complete axle set with standard black finish - $1515 shipped (regular $1599 + 75 shipping)
1400hp complete axle set with standard black finish - $1715 shipped (regular $1799 + 75 shipping)
**red powdercoat finish is $40 extra**

I can get similar pricing for G8's with camaro differentials, as well as special pricing for Camaros.

1. Crazy8 750
2. Culedood47 750
3. cynic783 750

I thought someone posted just yesterday that they weren't making this for G8's anymore?

I'm in on the 750's.

There's a 2 week lead time to have them built. I don't think they are stocking them any longer. I contacted them about getting a better price. :)
Cause I love you guys.

You may be thinking of me when I said that they will not be making the Anti-wheel hop kit anymore. I did not say anything about the 750 kit.

Why didn't you do this two days ago!:shutup: I just ordered the wheel hop kit. :confused2: I know it was not as strong as the 750 kit but I hope it's good enough for what I have.

Tell you the truth Jessika, I thought you had this kit on your car. That kind of helped me decide to go for it knowing that you had more power than I did and you had no problems. I was not aware it was the 750 kit.:footstomp:

Now I don't know if I'm going to regret this or not.

I don't understand by you saying you can get axles for the G8's that have Camaro diff's already. I thought the axles are interchangeable between the two so it should not make a difference.

The inner stubs are different from what GForce told me.

Did you order direct? Talk to Casey, maybe you can cancel that order and get in this GB

This is correct. I will have a Camaro diff. in my G8 and the 750hp axles Gforce made for me are indeed custom in order to work.

Good morning bump for Jessika.
I also have the 750 HP axles.

Mine have been on order for close to two weeks. They ran out as AU bought out their shipment. Chris told me either this Friday or early next week some new ones will be ready. I am first on the list as I am down. Greg was fast from Pace. The Fed Ex truck just left fifteen minutes ago leaving me a brand new camaro 3.27 diff.

07-11-2012, 05:52 PM

But our stock axles work with the Camaro diff right?

desertg8

07-11-2012, 06:03 PM

I believe so. But that is an extremely weak part of what makes things go boom boom. The CV connector design. The ones on the g force axles are caged. Go look at their website and you will see a side by side comparison.

Posidon42

07-11-2012, 08:55 PM

Yes, but I have already blown the proverbial wad on parts. And until I can get my car running again and sell the 6L80/converter, then I can look into some axles. As long as the stock ones will work in the mean time.

The Wheel hop kit I had in my car was a PITA to install because of the swapping of the CV joints. These are pretty straightforward R&R. I will see what I can get as far as a install guide tomorrow. It took around 5 hours complete to do the wheel hop kit (first time it was done at Haddads too), but the actual R&R of the axles only took about an hour (what would be needed with these complete axles)

From what I was told, the inner stubs are different between the Camaro and the G8. Do you have the 3.45s now? I can do a custom set for anyone that has a G8 with the Camaro rear.

May be installing mine this weekend so I will let you know and I'll try to take some pictures during the process. Full axles are also better than the wheel hop kit because the CV joints are beefed up from the stock ones that you would have to re-use if you just got the wheel hop kit. As Jessika mentioned, the install is a lot easier with the full axles as well.

Jessica, I think the inner stubs are the same. The outer stubs are different. That is why we still order the g8 axles with the camaro differential. At least I hope so as that is how I have mine ordered.

Hey guys, just thought I would pop in and explain the differences between the G8 and Camaro axles.

We designed our G8 and Camaro axles to be exactly the same except for the outer stubs.
The G8 uses a 30 spline outer stub and the Camaro uses a 33 spline outer stub.
Other then that, the axles and inner stubs are identicle.

We usualy have these in stock but we have a large distributor in Australia that needed 28 sets of the G8 axles so it cleaned out all of our inventory. We are working on some more now but it will be a couple weeks before we are stocked back up.

Thanks
Chris

Yes, I ordered direct and was talking to Chris. I don't know if I should see if I can cancel and get on this GB because it does not look like it is going to happen. I don't want to loose out on 1 of the 2 anti-wheel kit's available that are going to be discontinued.

This sounds like you DID have the Anti-wheel kit and NOT the 750 kit. Can you clarify for me?
Something else that is brought to my mind is if I stick with the Anti-hop kit, do you think I might be able to upgrade just the CV joints to make this a 750 kit down the road? Especially if this GB falls through?

I'd be glad to change your order to one of the axle kits Jessika has on the group buy if it's ok with her, I'm sure we can work it out.
Your axles are about half machined but no biggie, I can just throw them on the shelf.

Yes, I did have the anti-hop kit. I clarified with Fengstang, my cars new owner. I misunderstood what I had since they were a gift from the fabulous Todd Corzett.

If you decide you want the complete axles, I am happy to include you in this group buy.... I will say that once you do the CV swap, you will not want to ever do it again... :)

It's great knowing that I can cancel if needed but like I said before, it does not look like this GB is going to go through. :( 15 days to go and still need to fill 7 slots.

Chris, but what about being able to get the rest of the parts that make it a 750 kit down the road? I'm assuming the axles are the same, just the CV cages being beefier.

The anti wheel hop axle bar kits won't work with the complete axles. The OEM cv joints are a goofy 37 spline so the axle bars we make are 37 spline to fit them.
Our complete axles that come with our cv joints are a larger 28 spline axle to fit our cv joints.
So they are not interchangeable.

Thanks
Chris

If Chris will be willing to hold off on shipping my axles (if they get done in time) to see if this GB will go through, then we may only need 4 more people. :)

They bolt right up to a Camaro diff.

We were the ones to pioneer the Camaro diff swap, back when everybody was wondering if it would work, we decided to buy one and find out. Fits perfect!

Do it!! I looooooved this mod so much. Even though I only had the anti hops, my car felt like it squatted better, hooked quicker, and definitely solved every ounce of wheel hop.

So true. My first 1/4 mile runs in Mexico I really didn't notice the axle hop, but once I loaded in the PatG tune and started getting a little more aggressive with my launch, I noticed the hop. What's funny is that the GT automatic with the 2.93's and the TVS doesn't have the problem. Oh well, I'll be ready for the 150 shot in the GXP. LOL

LS1_Disciple

07-30-2012, 12:21 PM

Yeah, it seems to be the manuals that have more problems with wheel hop. Not sure if it's the trans itself or the 3.70 rearend, but whichever, I'm looking forward to getting rid of it forever.

I will be traveling home this week, but will send tracking information as soon as I have it & internet!
