RebekahsZ Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I would discourage you from using that diff. Most of the guys at the strip hate them because they don't hold up. If you are going to put that much work into your car, do a 9" Ford or 8.8"Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebekahsZ Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Got your PM. If you have an auto trans, I would just stick with the R200 3.54 ratio that is likely what's in your car already. It is a good all around ratio for a V8 Z-car. You can run that until you start breaking things. Now, just because you have a v8, you can't assume that you have a lot of power. Lots of V8s put out as little as 200hp from the factory. Some corvettes were even made with that little power! Are you doing 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile?

skirkland1980 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The rear end in my stock 350 s10 broke. I blame it in the worthless b&m shift kit they make for the 700r4. It would chirp the tires during 1-2 shifts at any throttle position. Drove me nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger280zx Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Remove passenger seat, open hatch, place ballast (s10 rear end) in car, secure hatch, go race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I don't understand the last post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger280zx Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 That is a recommendation on how to install an s10 rear end in a z. My failed attempt at pun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
