    Is your car gonna be there to0? i will have a booth with my car there so you can check it out if you want.

    I have a feeling the stock rear end can really take a lot. The weakest point is the posi unit (which i destroyed on mine)

    I installed another stock unit and will be installing a line lock to avoid 1 wheel peels. If i never did a one wheel peel warming my tires up at the track, i would still be running a stock rear end with now over 600+ whp and over 40 passes at the track. JRE has a good mod for the posi unit i hear works well and its around $200. plus their billet caps are a good idea too. There are guys running 10's all day with those 2 mods only.

    as far as gearing, thats a tough one. I am still deciding myself. I think a 3.73 would be best just because longer gears work well for turbo cars. Id say being that would be good for you with your power level. Or even stock 3.45 gear. You make the gear too big and traction will be tough.

        No my car won't be there. I will stop and check your car out. Im gojng to look into the JRE posi mod. I think I'm going to stay with stock gear just wanted to strengthen the rear end. What driveshaft are you running?

          Yep that's right about where I wanted to be. The ride home was fun. It's looking like I'm going to need you to do some rear end work soon.

            Stock drive shaft, Rear end, rear suspension.

            Only thing in that area i have swapped out was my clutch(Mcleod RXT), and my axles (DSS 1400hp)

            I am waiting for the ZL1 rear end retro-fit kit. The rumor is now that the new kit GM will be selling will be 100% bolt it, including everything from the driveshaft, axles, complete rear end(with a 3.70 gear)... and the price is rumored to be around $4500 list price, so will be available at a discount for around $3700-3800. That should take the power i am throwing down and be the perfect gear.
