Stock IRS with 4.10's.To put a 12 bolt or 9-inch would require huge money and cutting the whole car up.

we'll see we're talking to the owner of the car about it tonight...

We're just hoping to get this thing to launch...its pretty violent on the streets <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

MTI fully expects 130+ mph out of this beast <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />
