Same here! I'm hoping to get it by Monday or Tuesday. Unfortunately, there isn't 93 octane around here, just 91 and I think there's 100 octane or something at a local gas station, but I don't buy gas from there...

The 8.8" first showed up in the Mustang GT in 1986.

V8 Fox Mustangs had 7.5" from '79-85 and 7.5" Traction-Lok did not become available until '82 or 83. However, Ford had reliabilty issues with the 7.5" T-Lok in V8 Mustangs, so the more H-D 8.8" axle became std. on all GT's in 1986 and later.

The speed limiter is removed in the Bama aftermarket calibrations. Because of the 8.8" rear, everything is fine to go faster, other than the speed rating of the tire.
