Since I'm a convertible I wont be doing any track racing anyway. This was mostly a comfort decision. I drive my car way too much for it to ride like a truck anymore. lol
You will be happy with the purchase.

if you wanna give me 100 bucks I can go get my car dyno'd again lols, my last dyno was right before I did my IRS swap. I had my alum driveshaft in before the IRS swap so the only change is that.

The 3 link from griggs/mm is great, however if I were to build another mustang with a SRA I'd be going with a watts link and evm tri link.

^whats that? Link it for me. Although it is too late since I already bought the IRS! I just have a little remorse... Since my cars in the garage torn apart, I wont feel the benefit or anything till next spring. I'm also a little irritated that I didn't think about the 3.55 gear ratio ahead of time. I'm getting Cushman stage 2.5 blower cams and i need 3.73's minimum. I wounder if it's gonna matter that much?

NT01's will do very nice. They are a lot softer than the 555's
