Default MWC Fab 9 configuration

Hey guys, Im getting ready to purchase a MWC Fab 9 and was wondering what setup would suit my driving best?
The car currently has 350rwhp and 360rwtq with future plans of a turbo later down the road. im thinking 550-600 rwhp.
I want to set the car up as a street car, it is my daily driver so I want streetability!
Driving style would be closer to autocross. Any suggestions for a turbo gear ratio? I was thinking stock, 3.42's???

Please post up your fab9 config and your style of driving.
Im confused on what spline axles I need and what center section will be suitable for my current 350hp/360tq setup.
Billet clutch posi 31 spl or 31 spl only Truetrac differential unit?
which of the two is stronger?
I am not going all out yet because I dont have the money for the lightweight and stronger center sections.
thanks!

If you dont have a problem with the rear that is in it now I would just save a little longer and get what you want. YOu will be money ahead in the long run. Just my opion. I saved for a year and just ordered mine like 5 weeks ago should be getting it in a couple of weeks.

You can give Eric a call at MWC, tell him your budget and whet you're looking to do, and he'll get you set up. He's a great guy to deal with.

However, like Penningta said - just stick with your stock rear for now, if you're not driving on a sticky tire and launching hard you will be fine. Then call eric when you can upgrade to stronger axels and know what your engine powerband is going to be

I would just call Eric at MWC and talk about your goals and budget. Think you can get a base rear for around $2700 shipping would be a little more out to CA but could be wrong.

billet clutch posi and 31 spline axles would be more than enough for you, but if you have 3ch abs we would have to go to the truetrac diff is all. our base package including the fabricated housing, 31-35 spline axles, nodular iron center w/ spool, chromemoly double adjustable torque arm and crossmember for your application starts at 2650.00 shipped and then option out from there. Pm or call us with some details on your car for a quote.
