Just adding cams will not give you much more power then u already have so no ur rearend can be left alone. Id get gears if you dont already. Plus like you have already said NEVER RUN SLICKS.

misimformed. the cam is one of Ford's ways of keeping power down in the v6. it is weak. but go with a full powerpak. it will make a huge difference. then get some 4.10s and a detroit.

she won't break the rearend. the tires will spin before that happens. i meant a cam is an underrated mod for the sixxers.

life is awesome. i'm alive in a ****ed up country with a different language and no car. but a cam won't cause the rear end to die. the 7.5 is actually a lot stronger than people give credit for. the weakness is the 7.5 T-lok
