Default Need Modding Advice!
Read what I have in my signature, and tell me what else I should do now, I'm getting a 9 inch rear next Monday, so I need to know what to do after that.

He means there is a chance your drive shaft will be an improper length after putting in the 9" rear end.

when i switched to a 9in moser the drive shaft needed to be about an 1inch longer and your gonna wanna look at what yoke you have on the rear cause youll need 1350 u joints if needed. also look at your sway bar setup as if you have a stock set up it will hit the housing of your 9in and wont work well either and an adjustable panhard rod to center your rear these are things i ran into when i got mine

sorry black bird just noticed what section and what you were asking. that being said what do you plan with the car i looked at your fquick page and you have a very nice ws6 you already said you have a ms3 and ls6 heads planned.i would focus on the hook up and launch of the car getting the most out of the rear. and the rear wheel well to tire will be a little wider so there are gonna be things that are gonna come up but i would say cam and nitrous
