Default rearend

I need advice on which rearend would be best for my car. I have a m6 ls1 pushing around 450 to 470 rwhp. its not a daily driver and i dont take it to the track. So would a ford 8.8 hold up or should I save up enough to buy a 9 inch?

9", and if you got the time to wait, get the MWC 9" you can't beat the price.

Hopefully You will shop around to see what other options there are such as the Strange Engineering S60 that I'm having a special on now!

Shoot Me a pm or a call if You would like to get a quote and learn more about the S60.

Thanks,
Carl

I highly doubt you're going to find a better price, and it includes free shipping! Bob
