Hello everyone,

Happy to join the forums and be apart of this awesome website. Been lurking publicly ever since I bought my Camaro back on July 30th. It's a 2000 Z28 M6 with LT and Lid with EGR delete. Been growing up with Ford all my life and still love them dearly, but I always had a soft spot for the LS1's. Was deciding between a mustang and a LS1 f-body and kind of out of the blue bought the Camaro the day it was posted. My only thing that was worrying me about the LS1 were the "wonderful" rear ends that love power and traction. So I am currently trying to save up to get a new rear end and heard of TNT Fab in Oklahoma/Texas area and heard a lot of good things about their 8.8's. I won't mind the whole Ford in a Chevy since I still love Ford (not a fanboy of any of them. Love me some LS's, Coyotes, and 392's). Plus my 8.8 in my 03 F150 FX4 5 Speed 4.6 has held up to some harsh off roading and some clutch drops on some 35s on the street so I know their strength. But I was wondering what are my options for a nice rear end to handle a NA LS1 on slicks/drag radials with a 6 speed for less than $1500.... Sorry for the long winded message. Look forward to being apart of the community

8.8 is probably one of your cheapest choices. On another note, "would you happen to be looking for a professional hydration specialist?"

I'm glad someone gets my reference lol... I wish I could get an audio recording of him saying "Captain Insano Shows No Mercy" to play through the horn or speakers when I beat someone in a race lol
