I am pretty sure the originator of this thread is no longer reading it. I was really hoping he would give us an axle code, but he might have looked it up and found out he really was wrong.

I have the complete history of service for my car from the previous owner in a binder. There is no record of a rear end swap. My friend's car's previous owner was an old lady.... yeah im sure she had 3.73's put. These cars came stock with it whether u believe me or not.
*Stirs the pot and giggles to self*...son I have more time spent changing plugs and oil in 5.0's than you have owning one...trust me you wrong, nothing wrong with being wrong, but you're wrong, stating that we are wrong would be wrong...again resulting in you being wrong and it's ok to be wrong

At a roll, both in second gear, doing same speed, when we both punch it my car just pulls ahead. So driving isnt really a factor.
You are making more torque. Classic example of too big of a header on a stocker.
