Default o-m-g 3.73's did the job

So after i had my motor swap there was a huge gain in power/torque and i loved it. But something was missing. As some of you know i recently blew my 7.5 rear end up and started my 8.8 with 3.73's swap. After completeing the task me and my father took the car out for a test drive. all i can say is [sm=yikesomg.gif] I seriosly thought my car was gonna lift off the ground. My fricken BFG Drag Radials were spinning outa control... from a roll. with a good amount of tread still on the tires. Im scared to drive my car now.

o thats right i never concluded the driveshaft issue to you guys, after numurous attempts at getting it out, we finally hooked it up to a hoist and pryed it out. Nothing looked wrong with it, were guessing that when the other rear end blew it pushed in a bit a cause the shaft to just become wedged a little. on biggie hehe

one of my friends works on fortin trannys at a racing shop (sand cars and class 1 cars and stuff). anywho i went to work with him a few times and wow, some of the shafts get wedged in there so good (thats what she said) that you have to heat the whole tranny up with a torch and get 2 people prying on it to get them loose. tough stuff, glad to hear you got your stuff fixed. just remember to keep the rear wheels behind the car.
