[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16253713, member: 166576"] Welcome home sir! It may cost nearly as much as a 9" to really beef up an 8.8. Youre talking parts and labor. If you really want to build the 8.8, it makes no sense to do anything lest than a Strange S-trac 35 spline diff, 35 spline axles with 9" ends welded on. Add to that the labor needed to weld the axle tubes. If Im honest, thats not enough for an 8.8" and you need to add an axle housing brace to the assembly for strength. Ford G2 Diff Cover and Moser (ARP) diff cap studs to keep the Diff and ring gear from moving around under high load. I suppose the real issue is most of the limited slip diffs that are worth a shit to install for drag racing need C-clip eliminators. C-clip eliminators are good, but dont have the strength and are known to leak compared to 9" ends. By the time its all said and done, a Strange 9" might be reasonably in the same ballpark. Plus, you can set the car up with a spool for drag nights, and for general street use/ road racing you can swap the pumpkin with a performance diff set up. [/QUOTE]
