I have the same set-up (except a ford nodular housing). Ironically, I have the same jack stands too. I see your axels actually came with the hole to access the backing plate bolts. Mine did not. I had to grind channels in my backing plates to get a wrench in there.

I guess they fixed that after I called to complain.

I sat back to grab a wrench and noticed the hole and was like sweet..

What gear did you go with?

I went with 3.50's.. I actually picked up a little more in the mid range and the highend with that gear..it feels like it.

I dug in it yesterday on my DR's off of a stop light racing against a college kid in a Mustang..I eased it off the line and when he went to shift into second I punched it and took off by about 4 lengths..

The next light he came up along side and was like WTF..

Next is the built T56 boys..

Fun Factor..

And I blew up my Tranny today hitting it on the highway..so I want a T56 that will hold up and cost less in the long run. I've killed 2 Trannies within 6 months.

I hear ya, nothing like banging gears in a high hp car. How do you think the car will do in the 1/4 with the t-56? Do you think it will be as fast as the stalled auto?

damn I need to stop trying. With the addition of a T-56 you will be driving the car I ultimately want. besides mine being a formula/firehawk.

Nice setup

From what I understand when I was comparing the S60 to the 9-inch is the 9-inch you can use the stock drive shaft and the S60 you need to get a shorter one. But the stock drive shaft is a weak link also might as well change it while your doing the rear.
