So copied my pdf from texas speed, I also have SLP lid, SLP headers into custom true duals, MGW Shifter, , and swapped my ls1 intake for an ls6 intake TB.
Buddy of mine is supporting the rear , he also wants the rear for gears. I want to spend around 1k. With an LS6 intake and TB would nitrous not be as effective? Maybe a 150 shot is wht I am aiming for. Its going to b a DD so keep that in mind as well. Maybe suspension? Tires?

I would seriously consider a rear-end before adding ANY more power to your car.

If it were an automatic you could get away with it a while longer, but being a 6 speed your 10 bolt's time on earth is short.

Drew-Bot

Thanks for reply, so I'm assuming ford 9 inch?

I agree, if you plan on taking the car to the track a rear end would be a good call. 9" tend to be a little stronger bu the 12-bolts can also take a lot of abuse. For this kind of power level you could go with either.

Drew-Bot

I am not a track guy, I just enjoy a nice drive down the highway with a few hurts of speed when the time calls for it. Its my DD so not really looking for a super rear. Wanted something in the 1k price range but I feel like a rear that could handle what I want is no where near that price range especially with labor.

No offense but unless you just find someone willing to loose a grand or more on selling you a rear I doubt you'll find anything for a grand. I have seen a couple 12-bolts on here for 1200-1500 but they are gone quick and unless you just luck out on finding one with the right diff and gear you'll end up paying to set it up to fit your needs. A S60 or 9inch is going to cost at a minimum of 2k.

Drew-Bot

Yea thats what I found with more research. Also with my rear only having 37k miles what is a reasonable price for one. I wanna make it a decent deal for someone, I won't be using it anyways why not help out someone.

Drew-Bot

bob@brutespeed says 200-500 would be a good start and to post it on here. Obviously I cannot count on that money for upgrades since its not a sure thing. But we will see wht happens with the cash flows in the next month. I may be able to double it project fund. But I will take your advice and not add more power until I can back it up.

jose946spd

I have similar power goals so I'm hoping my factory rear goods thru. I can say tho my rear is a bit cheaper then urs.

I'd have to agree, continue putting money aside for either a S60 or 9 inch. If you were to add more power or better traction now, you'll be back to saving up for a new rear in short order.

Very helpful info I had no idea how much rear ends were.

garygnu

you could look into doing a ford 8.8,seen them done for under $1000 if you know what you are doing.some one on this forum mite build 1 for you for $1500 + shipping.you can find used 9" and 12 bolts for $2000 used.

I'd say 12 bolt and be done with it.
