is the gt rear end worth it
When i get gears done in a couple of months, will it be ok to get them for the 7.5 or should i wait and get a gt rear end. Also ill be getting a tlock when i do this cause i dont want to have to get one later. But because a gt has a tlock and a larger back end will it be a waist to get my 7.5 done? I will be getting NO2 in the not too distant future so i want to be sure my axels and gear box will be able to handel the tourqe. thanks.

If you can get your hands on a good GT rear axel assembly (maybe a junk yard) and can do the swap or have the money to get it done then go for it. I tried to swap mine out for an 8.8 and it ended up being more trouble then I could see it being worth. I just swaped my gears and put in a T-Lok. The 7.5 should be able to handle nitrous(at least for a while) since you probably won't spray anything more than a 100 shot, unless you really wanna work on the engine.

I'm spraying a 75 shot with a FRPP t-lok and FRPP 4.10's in the back or atleast I was LOL until a couple nights ago...Yup blew up the rear end. Don't know exaclty what went yet. But if you stay 7.5" go with a detroit tru-trac instead of the weak FRPP t-lok. Also look into a TA girdle for the 7.5". The detroit tru-trac is about 450ish I think and the girdle is 150. You should be good to go with that. I'm thinking about a 8.8 swap though. Then I'll spray off the line with slicks...maybe LOL.

Me too LOL. They're opening it up tomorrow to see for sure. Car still drives it just has a very loud clunk coming from the rear. Hopefully I can find a GT rear at a junk yard or something...
