8.8 rearend.

gt_andy · May 14th, 2008, 01:00 PM

How much can it handle? When do most start to break? Is it worth it to replace after breaking the stock one or beef up before you break the stock one?

I got a 13.3 car on the stock rearend. A 4.10 will be going in next week. Im looking at doing 5K launches on a MT ET street drag tire on a 16in or 15in race rim (can't remember what size it is).

I have 87,XXX miles on the car

you can break a stock 8.8 with just drag radials.

I would invest in a 31 spline set up.

gt_andy · May 14th, 2008, 01:06 PM

Befor I break it? or after?

If drag racing....Alum driveshaft??

BWAL09 · May 14th, 2008, 01:09 PM

you can build the stock 8.8 to hold over 900rwhp

HMUSN · May 14th, 2008, 01:09 PM

if your getting gears I would just do everything at the same time.. axles have to come out anyway.. might as well do it once the correct way.

gt_andy · May 14th, 2008, 01:27 PM

I dont know much about rear ends as you can tell. Would the axles be the only thing i'd want to replace?

HMUSN · May 14th, 2008, 01:28 PM

axles, bearings, differential, gears, diff cover.

gt_andy · May 14th, 2008, 01:38 PM

any idea about what it will all cost?

HMUSN · May 14th, 2008, 03:22 PM

axles
Girdle (diff cover)

everything else

i'd build it...v6 on the juice with slicks broke her running a 13.0
with drags and with ET's which is like right next to a slick i'd say once you hit 12s your in the danger zone

of course mine is a bit newer, but i'm in the 12.8's on mt et streets and have no problems with 5k launches
