Default Solid axle is in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:banana: OK............ I got the car back last night and got to put a few miles on it. First off anyone who is worried about your ride don't. Ride is very nice. I can tell a difference but it is not a big deal. Now as far as the feel. It is fanfriginastic. Now this is car. I have laid into it a few time and it now feels the way a car should feel. I still have stock axles,diff and uppers (those go on this weekend)so i haven't killed it yet but i did get into it pretty hard. Anyone thinking about doing this DO IT. I have no regrets. Oh I'm running the 3:27 gear that came with it and it still kicks ass. No wheel hop :banana:

Did you put a GT rear axle in there? Ive been hearing that if you do a nice setup for the front brakes and put a GT rear braking system in the rear you can run 15"s with a nice fat drag radial in the rear.

Personally, I would bring up the gear ratio back to a 3.55 or a 3.73, as I know that HP on demand blower wouldnt mind the extra gear .

Yep i kept the gt brakes. I will be running 15's later when i get the cash for it. Right now i will be using my old 16's with the MT drag radials.

The gear feels great. I've broke the car lose a few times in 1st ,2nd and 3rd. It feels great.
