Sell the Nittos on ebay, move on. Lesson well learned.

Even though it's a Traction-Lok, or "posi-rear", it's not a fully mechanically locked rear, so sometimes you will have slip like that. If it happens regularly then you should have it looked at.

I think the bigger problem is going to be that going to the track can be addicting. Now that you've tried it you're gonna be wanting to go all the time. And each time you're gonna want just a little better times. Then you'll need to modify just one more thing. Then lather, rinse, repeat.... and one day you realize you've spent thousands of dollars and what used to be your daily driver is now your race car and you're out buying a new car to drive to work in because you want to save the Mustang for the track....
And pretty much everyone reading this is by now saying to themselves, "yep, sounds like me!"
I had the 4.10's installed Thursday. The shop also replaced the bearings. Everything else is good.

I already have the mod bug. I can never leave any of my cars stock. Now after I already installed what I have, I have plans for more mods.
