    'Looks like you intend to make some power with that car. I'd suggest some CalTracs.

    Oh, and don't forget a Grabber spoiler... :bigsmile:

    I already order my cal Tracs from summit and a 9" housing and axles (31 splines) from Quick Performance.

    Those grabber spoilers are hard to find

    It's insane. Re-pops are available but the company rapes you on shipping...
