Ill second the luck of the draw on the rear as ModMotorRacer says, Actually the rear is the strongest part in the mustang, I worry about my t-45 first, then my motor, then the rear Last. The only reason i really upgraded to the 31 spline axles and Locker, was because it was a deal, I wish i came across it before i put my 3.90s in.

And actually i wish i didnt listen to 4.10s no power adder and 3.73-3.90 with power adder. I shouldve had 4.10s from the door.

I had a mini spool in a Vega V8 I had, I couldnt find a good Posi rear, and too expensive to get a rear built so i bought a mini spool for $175 back in 1986. That car could come off the line. but nothing like turning a corner and having that spool "HOP"!!! since the outer wheel turns the same as the inner!!! Track only use, not safe on the street, but i drove it on the street. Scary on on ramps!!!
