you can afford twin turbos, to ceramic coat them, and to switch gears, but you don't find it wise at all to upgrade the rear end to an 8.8?

a detroit in the 7.5 and girdle is far stronger than a stock 8.8. and will hold 500ftlbs+. 99.9% of V6ers will never break a 7.5 with a detroit and TA girdle. alloy axles will also add some strength

i asked a while ago and i had faith in cobra so i beefed up the 7.5 plus trying to find a 8.8 around here would be hopeless
