You don't haft to get the tlok right away. I think armycook had a procharger before any other modlol. You will want to do it in the future though for sure. It will probobly get frustrating with all that power going to one wheel lol. Consider some LCA's and a UCA too.

In some ways the car will "handle" better (but not faster)off the line with the stock differential.

Look at it this way:

With a limited slip, if you're spinning both tires at the line, there's nothing to prevent the rear of the car from sliding sideways (usually not a lot, but it happens).

With an open diff, if you're lighting up the right rear, the left rear tire may not be doing much to get you moving, but it is keeping the rear end planted side to side

Should be, If you have low miles i would install the Locker and gears before the blower, that way you dont need a full rebuild for your rear end. Also why get the tires before the locker? You will just rip the **** outta 1 tire

if you want to get gears in, you should just get the tlok in with them

as for low 13's...i dont think it is gunna happen with the peg leg. and if you run drag radials you will have a big possibility to break the rear end

Make sure you inspect the supercharger regularly for problems. There is a thread in the 4.0 drivetrain section where someone blew his engine because his supercharger was leaking oil into the engine. I'm sure you don't want something like that to happen to you. It may not happen often but it does happen
