my 2001 v6 will need 8.8s
because soon i will be getting my 4.10 gears and a t-lok. and maybe in the future make my car a lot faster.
should i buy an 8.8? how much would that cost?
and installation cause i probably cant do that

what other mods are done to your car
the 8.8 you wont need until your pushing some serious power like around 290-300,.

Unless you are > 90% sure you will be going with forced induction, then stay with the 7.5.

Stang6899 · March 7th, 2008, 10:03 AM

For an 8.8 of your year you could find one used for probably $300-$350 maybe cheaper. And I bet you could install it yourself its not 2 tough.

BlackStang59 · March 7th, 2008, 10:23 AM

i will probably never go turbo or anything but maybe a nitrous 75 shot. but that wouldnt break the 7.5?

Onemanzu · March 7th, 2008, 10:31 AM

no your 7.5 is fine

shadow5403 · March 7th, 2008, 11:16 AM

+1 yeah a 75 shot with all bolt ons shouldnt put u in the danger zone where you might break your axle.

brand new 8.8 axle kit with 31 spline axles, 3.73 gears, tlok 1485 something

professional installation 638-800

AtlanticBlue99 · March 7th, 2008, 01:37 PM

30+rwhp rwtq look into the 8.8 with moser 31 splines. otherwise, the 7.5" will hold up fine. if you run slicks or have a stick and drop from 4-5k rpms, you may want the 8.8 for added security though.

tsp_2177 · March 7th, 2008, 02:17 PM

if your gonna get an 8.8 wait on the gears they wont work with the 8.8

you ran bolt ons on slicks with th 7.5 ... what was your lowest time and did the 7.5 give out?? wasn't it like mid to low 14s with your 7.5 doing just fine?
