A cover girdle is said to help inprove gear life, maybe an oil change as well. Stock rears will only hold so much and the 7.5-7.625 wasn't really rated for anything past 300hp.

Im with the group hug director (Keliente) on this one...

The money spent on a better differential now... will put you money ahead soon after the install. The 7.5/7.625 is the straw that will brake the camels back when you least expect it. Instead of spending money on replacing the gears and bearings or axles every couple of years... the one time hit makes better sense.

Well... that, and it up's the resale value of the car.
