RE: rear ends
Honestly if you're putting on Turbos, I would tear out the 8.8 and stick in a 9". But if not get 31 spliners with maybe a detroit locker. The tranny will be inevetable that it can only handle so much and will break again. You can however buy some out of magazines that are built for strip use up to 750ft/lbs torque for around $2200 with a core.

No reason to go with a 9 inch, a 31 spline 8.8 with the right guts will get it done. Plan on spending around 800-1000 bucks in parts

turbo cars are probably some of the easyest launching (and thus easyest on the drivetrain) setups out there, simply due to turbo lag and not building boost down low.
