if it helps acceleration it will help you drift. it will also help you spin out the first few times because your not used to it

id get a stronger rear end all together and a whole bunch of extra tires if your gonna do alot of drifting on regular asphalt. my buddy has bent more axles drifting than ive ever owned

also upgraded suspension

you can easily get a 7.5 to handel over 400 rwft.lbs if you dont use ford parts, 8.8s just an extra 40 lbs added to the car. If you were to upgrade id go straight for a 9" and be done with it.

hah drifting shouldnt be a race. drifting should be something you do around a single corner cause sliding sideways and scaring the ever loving **** out of your friends is great for a laugh
