It's time to build up my rear end. It has to hold about 420 whp for now, hopefully up to 600-700ish in a year or two. I'll be running drag radials at the least, and will probably have slicks at one point or another. I've made up a list of parts I was going to use, I'd just like opinions. What should I add, what should I change/use a different brand, and what should I eliminate altogether. It's an 8.8 with 3.27 gears, which I'm planning on keeping.

Thanks guys.

 

$556 worth of stuff off LMS
$619 for the diff..

$1175 roughly... before shipping

Myself personally... I'd rather just buy everything all in one shot... Gotta love Summit!!

Looks like a great package, but not for $1,099.95. If I spend an extra $76.55 ($1,176.50 for the stuff I listed) I get the Electric locking limited slip diff I want and don't have to deal with a mechanical locker. The reason I'm going with the selectable ECTED unit is because this is a largely street driven car. Btw this is for a 4 lug fox, and I'm not doing the 5 lug swap at this time. I don't want to buy wheels and tires.

 

yea.. b/c I definitly told you that you had to swap to 5 lug... all I did was throw up a link

keep in mind that Summit will swap parts out on the kits.

try thinking outside the box

 

Chill, I that's not what I said. I know summit will swap parts, I was just throwing that in there because I hadn't mentioned it in the first post. Thanks for the help.

 

Auburn sucks butt!!! = not rebuildible crap had an auburn that lasted 30-40 burn outs and then was toast = one wheel peel

 

if you are gone to make 600+ hp down the road just spool it it is worth its wait in gold with high HP cars.

 

Id run a set of C-clip eliminators and Id weld the tubes to the housing.

 

Was that a locker or an LSD? The one I'm looking at is a LSD when not activated, when activated it's a locker. One of the members here wrote a review after he put one in his new edge GT, that's what got me thinking about em.

Question about spools, I've heard that they can lock up in a corner and send the car skidding. If that's true, I definitely don't want one because I'll be road tracking this car.

I'll be welding the tubes. I was going to do c clip eliminators

but they say it's not recommended for road racing applications or disc brakes. Any types of eliminators that are safe for hard cornering?

Thanks guys.

 

I'd get the detroit tru trac versions, much tougher unit
