Thanks for the help Jeff. So would you suggest using the 32x22 tubs with the 31 X 18.5 X 15 Pro street tires? Or go with the larger ones?
Since this car will have 450+ Hp and 550 with NOS, would you recommend the 12 or the 9. I'm assuming the 9 due to your torque experiences, but the 9 i have is a stock setup...sure it'll be narrowed an all, but how do you think the OEM 9" will hold up? This rear end came out of a 77 Lincoln Mark 7. It has disc brakes too. thanks again, Kyle Bennett Raleigh, NC Jeff Hanson wrote: > Kyle, > I ran a 12 bolt in my car for about 3 years.
