[QUOTE="saqmaster, post: 3787369, member: 44192"] [B]ShelbyGuy[/B] Thanks for your detailed response. The 8.8" IRS Housing Kit on the Ford Racing Parts website shows a RRP of $535. I do have a guy in the states with a trade/wholesale account with Ford so perhaps i'll be able to obtain the parts at a good discount. This leads me to wonder what differential I could buy via FRP? I'm just looking through the list now. Looking at the FRP site.. they offer the following.. assuming i'll want 31 spline.. :- Open Diff, $189, obviously useless :) Traction-Lok LSD, $299, what are these like? Auburn LSD, $485, same as above, any good? Auburn Pro LSD, $575, just seems to be a pumped up version of the above, rated for 'street'.. Torsen T2, $485, I've had success with these in FWD cars, any good for rwd drag? Looking at those, I'd say the Torsen was looking the best.. how do you think that'd perform? I'm not limiting myself to the selection above, but it'd certainly bring down the parts cost of the differential if I could get them through FRP.. I'll be looking at a 3.27 or 3.55 gearset (power starts to drop off after 6000rpm, 23" tall tyres, target of 135mph, 1:1 C4).. 3.27 is ideal I think.. [/QUOTE]
