These are the things i have a problem with in your build....


For starters... why are you choosing such an outdated and pathetic cam? There are better choices on the market that will yeild better returns. i.e. custom grind, but there are better off the shelf cams than the E cam

Second... The BBK SSi intake BLOWS... seriously. Get an Edlebrock Performer RPM2 or Trickflow Street Heat

Third... Are you seriously thinking about wasting your money on installing a 9"... Do you understand how stout a 8.8 can be made.... especially with 33 spline axles and a full spool?

+1 With adder. I was going to say all the same things. Save yourself the cash on the rear and put it into the trans/suspension.
