Just put spray in but I don't really use it. It is more for playing than anything else.

Sub frame connectors and drag radials would work great with your current mods.

So as of right now its looking like a rear end. I like my 3.42 great for the street. Heard 4.10 don't hold up well in the stock rear. I might rebuild my rear add the girdle and relocation brackets.

When I said rearend I meant 12 bolt or 9", not gears and a girdle for the 10-bolt. I wouldn't spend any $ on the 10-bolt, but that's just me.
