[FuelSlut]

I had a buddy locate me a 8.8 for me, work lately is busy. I got a built 8.8 out of a 04 Gt, down in indy Carmel to be exact. Got alloy usa 31 spline axles FRPP 31 spline dif It already has cobra plates ready for the calipers and the cobra spindle. Im gonna re shim it put a TA Girdle and slap it on. Ill post some pics later. Hopefully everything goes smooth. Advice is always needed. What do you guys that already made the swap think any advice, what gear size do you guys run? I was thinking 410's.

4.10s will be too much for the strip unless you go to really tall tires.

You might be ok with 3.90s but it depends on your ETs and trap speeds.
There are some charts floating around that will give you your MPH at a certain RPM with different gear sets. You'll have to sit down and figure out what you realistically be doing.
For example, I'm running 133+ through the traps and I'm out of motor before I get to the end of the quarter. I am actually at about 7000 RPMs.
I have 3.73 and 26 inch tires.
I am moving up to 28 inch tires this year to lower my RPMs through the traps before I blow the motor up.
As I said, this will take a little planning to avoid a mistake later.
