Default 600+ hp thru 3.73's on the stock rear end?
well, for the record he says it's putting down 531 now, and not to question the guy's other mods, but how long do you think the rear end in this car will last?

Your gonna have to roll race to make it last. Any good launch with traction & say good bye to your ring & pinion.

For the record I've run 725rwhp/740rwtq through my stock 10 bolt for the past 4 months. But I'm cashing out cause I don't want to be stranded or have to baby the car all the time. Putting in a moser 9" this weekend.

wow, i'm impressed! 01vert, you've obviously launched a few times on yours. 93, with 700+ i'd guess you have too.

No I haven't been to the strip. After the 9" w/alum shaft, TA, and MT tires I'll be ready to let her loose on the strip. Looking forward to it.
