    Putting a Trac Lok in my 8.8

    Listen to the above. Even with 4.10 gears you will still have plenty of RPM's. Our 4 speed automatics give us plenty at top end. My car ran 140 MPH on the chassis dyno in 3rd gear. You should be worried about tires at that point. Also get yourself a new aluminum one piece drive shaft with...
