You wished that was _ALL_ you needed.

Thats what you need to make an 8.8 stronger.

no. you need the whole axle too. Heres a kit that has EVERYTHING, plus you get to choose the gears you want in it.

be careful dealing with Speed Concepts. i had a horrible experience with them, as did christorres and a few other people i know...

shadow5403 · March 7th, 2008, 10:53 AM

Really? ive never heard people having issues with them.....

do a search here and you'll find a couple of threads about them...

waste of money... why do you need the 8.8?? just spend the money and parts to blow the rear end first

i think NOT blowing parts up would be better, so atleast you still have a drivable car.

+1 Def a waste of money tho.

I had no problems at all with speedconcepts. I kinda regret spending so much on it though. Plus you have to assemble EVERYTHING on that kit. gears, axles, tlok, shims, all that shit.

itschristorres8 · March 7th, 2008, 03:42 PM

my issue with speedconcept actually turned out to be great
i recommend them

BlackStang59 · March 7th, 2008, 04:04 PM

I'm afraid though because I'm a kid so if I blow it I won't be able to fix it for a long time

shadow5403 · March 7th, 2008, 04:06 PM

youll be fine. unless you are running 350+ RWHP you dont need to worry about the axle.

heres what you need to do, PM itschristorres08 ask him what it took to break his rear end, pm 97tunedmustang and ask him how his rear end is holding up, pm atlanticblue99 ask him how his rear end worked for him at the track... you will see very fast that the 7.5 is stronger then you think

edit: also pm stang6899 and ask him how his rear end is holding up... he has a 75 shot on his

Stang6899 · March 7th, 2008, 05:55 PM

I ran 75 shot for a while and it did fine....I'm now upping it to a 100 shot after i get a nice tune for it =]
