ok last problem..LOUD rattling from rear end
OK after the clutch install from hell and installing 850ccs in the primaries I fired the bitch back up...
now besides it running all wacky due to it being untuned im getting a very LOUD (yes louder then my greddy PE exhaust through a MP and DP) rattle....
Im thinking one of two things...
The driveshaft....but i lined it back up the way it was originally installed and torqued the hell out of the nuts
the midpipe....it seems to be laying on one of the cross members (scraping the pipe)...is that normal I cant remember

You got too many options for your problem there son. You should have torqued the driveshaft nuts the proper strength (which I have no clue what), just making them really tight doesn't mean you're solving anything... there could be due consequences to it.
The midpipe IS NOT suppose to be up against anything... that would be my guess for your rattling sound. I just had a problem where my intake wasn't properly secured in my engine bay and when I started up into the rpm's it literally sounded like a supercharging whine because the thing was rattling so fast. I would have kept it that way if it wasn't for it wearing a hole in my other intake.

Ok good, just as long as it was the same as before.
