Default Upgrade for rearend!!!

Well, I havent had any luck with drag radials..So I am planning on slicks in the near future..I only drive the car on the weekend,so its not a daily driver..I ordered some Moser 31 spline axles with wheel studs and a new locker with carbon discs.. Is there anything else I will have to purchase to prepare for slicks... Im thinking maybe better u-joints while im at it...Thanks in advance for any advice..Im running 3.73 gears also..Should I maybe run a lower gear???

Go with a 26" tall slick, have the torque boxes and axle tubes welded , set it on the rev-limiter and launch.

P.S. HOLD ON!

Nope it can be done intact. You will need to pull your rear seat to check for hot spots when welding the torque boxes.
