I got my rims from american muscle. I'd recomend them. Others say many good things about cruizin concepts. I havent got the 8.8 yet or priced it but I do know it is available through ford with the 3.73s. Its in the FRPP catalog. Call your dealership for pricing, maybe newtakeoff.com has them too?

Here's the axle choices at frpp. Do I want the 28 tooth or 31 tooth one? How much to install?

Thinking about it now, if getting duals has only slight gains over a takeoff gt muffler, I personally don't care about how many holes it has in the back, I just want the most vroom for the money. I'm gonna hit up the $40 GT muffler idea.

So you think i could find it that cheap on a legit site or is ebay the way to go?

shipping is the biggest thing with the mufflers I've bought both ways ebay and from on the forums. One set i got was from a guy who took them off his california special just wanted me to pay shipping of like 35 gave them to me free. I ran a sigle for a bout 4 months and loved it switched to duals this winter and other than looks I LIKED THE SINGLE BETTER duals have a vibration at 1400

what about headers? Now that the intake is breathing better, you should free up the exhaust. I would do this before the rear end. It should be cheaper than a new rear end.

Ok, I'll look into this. Now that I went for a GT exhaust i'm thinking of black bullitts next, but thats a good idea for afterwards since im on a somewhat limited budget
