Default rearend question????

i love this forum. just when i think that i have everything figured out about how i am going to approach my car i read a new thread which makes me question my choices. so here goes i am looking to get about 350 hp out of my 6er. as of now i working on the bolt on mods, tuner, suspension and plenty of other mods( the little things that make the procharger work in my favor.) i guess my question is should i go with the detroit truetrac. i was going to go with option b (http://www.rpmoutlet.com/newv6m.htm) but i read that t-lok will wear out and need to be replaced. what should i do???? with the amount of horsepower that i am looking to get will option b hold up or just spend the extra .

thanks again
david

Hey, I'm selling my whole kit for $450 and if you need the tuner (which you will to correct the speedo) I'm selling that for $275, but if you buy the whole thing all at once, I'll discount it to $650.

have you installed the kit on your v6? if so how many miles does it have on it? what did you pay brand new for the gears and detroit truetrac?


thanks

Nope, the whole thing's in my backseat in a box because I had scheduled them to be installed today, then I found that 95 GT and pursued buying that instead. I have a Ford Racing limited slip differential.
