Default rear end strengthening?

So i have my last batch of mods about to go in and was wondering if anyone else is using any of this stuff and if you have any tips during install. The boost a pump and 2 step are already installed in the picture. I have a detroit tru trac, LPW low profile cover, arp studs, and a che rear brace, also have a bottle of friction modifier.

Just wondering if theres anything i should watch out for in the install this weekend.

Thanks

Are you also doing a new set of gears?

Also why are you doing the CHE brace? I havent done anything to the pumpkin yet, but I have planned 4.10's or 3.73's, Tru Trac, and Girdle.

CHE brace looking interesting though.

Thanks,

Stock our cars have a Trac Lock LSD, that uses clutchs. These clutches wear out over time and the car becomes a one tire fryer.

A tru trac doesnt use clutchs so it is stronger.

Huf with your car being a manual and at your power level (from the bits and pieces Ive caught aleast 550+rwhp??) I would put in a set of hardened 31 spline axles while you have apart without a doubt imo. A decent set will cost around $350.00. I would also seriously think about the the GT 500 fuel system at that power level.

Hey could you post a list of what you have done to your car?
