Damn, how do I get that kind of tax return money. I think thats the ideal setup you have planned making sure the rear and tranny can handle high power levels before you start breaking things. Plus you could sell the 4l60e and 10-bolt if they still work fine to help fund the new rims and tires.

trans and rear are fine ill be posting them up soon future plans for motor are forged 408 with f1r procharger setup just figured while i have a good tax return id be better off working from the rear forward true goal run 9's and drive anywhere i want with it..

i claimed a dependant for the whole year that helped alot so i figured with a good chunk better to replace the 2 weak links while i can do both same time since motor is running great.. cant wait to get the stall and do the swap and get stickies and be able to run it without worry down the track ill post more while doing swap..

i got almost $2000 back and i dont have kids or my own house. i have my job take away an extra $35 out of my pay check. that helps around tax time. i paid off the camaro, got a Circle D 3800 stall on the way and weld RT-S rims for the rear.
anyways, sounds like a great setup on the car
