RE: Changing my RearEnd
just remember that when it comes time to spend money on mods for the engine that the rear will need money spent on too.
you will be fine with the T-lok for now. get above 200ftlbs at the wheels and that's when they are known to break

That's tempting but even with substantially more power you may never need more than a 7.5". Since you have the parts for it, I'd go for it instead of the 8.8". You could resell your parts and buy the same parts for the 8.8" though.
I put 3:73s and t-lock in my 7.5" before the majority of my mods and am still sticking with it with no problems even though I'm now putting down 408 rwhp (manual). I do have street tires and don't drive it harder than I have to. I've heard guys doing ok at the track at around 400 rwhp for a while and I've heard of others who didn't make it through one pass. Until you need more, I'd stick with what you have.
