Default 8.8 rear + 6,400 clutch dumps = WOO HOO!

Finally got my car to hook consistently! its not a great 60' but keep in mind i have ABSOLUTELY NO SUSPENSION. last week on my 26" slicks my 60's were all over the place. but last night on my 28's i got consistent 1.66-1.65 60's.
It was kinda scary revin my car that high while sitting still but it payed off when i droped the clutch.
In my quest for a better 60' i think sub frame connectors are next.

Now get a TH400 a few suspension mods and get some 1.3X 60 footers, my 60 foot times went from 1.8ish to 1.3X with the tranny swap.

Can you PM me on all the info on the 8.8 please since you probably got it from a non sponsor and I'm very interested with your setup.
Thanks.
