Hot damn! Consider yourself volunteered. My current thinking is the 8.8 IRS setup, but I thought total cost pushed $2k, by the time you were done with the half shaft work etc.? I seriously considered...

4.10

We'd have to run something close to a 28" tire to take advantage of the power, winding out to redline and trapping around 130. Which is all fine, except a 28" tire is a damn snug fit, and if...

The problem is that the approrpiate sized tire for our gearing presents fitment problems; it's very borderline. When expanding it might rub up into the wheel well. It probably doesn't matter for...

It's cool, thanks. Once hardened the IRS and stock diff is supposed good for 10s with a V8 which, is about where we'll be so we'll probably just go that route.

If you could get a quote, I'd be curious. Currently I have the stock IRS fully dropped and disassembled. I still have a hankering to harden it with Delrin/UVHM/Solid mounts and bushings and use it.

As far as I know, yes, but something to check. I'll put this in the questions section. I see this car being run at street legal, TNT, private track days and *maybe* PSCA.

B9 = Section Width
D9 = Aspect Ratio
F9 = Rim Diamter

Absolutely.

My implicit assumption was that given our power to weight ratio, the engine would have sufficient power to rapidly reach redline given either a 3.55 or 3.73 axle. I was isolating a...
