Turbo 383 in a A-body Barracuda
No way an 8.75 is stronger. I think your sources need to go back to rehab. I can see the pipe burns on their lips from hittin the pipe a lil too much.
Seriously though, it's not like your gunna shock the housing real hard with a turbo. Don't be like me, run what you brung!! Stay on trac so the car gets finished. If you have problems, make the swap then.
^^^What he said!^^^
I threw down 945hp coming off the trans-brake at 5000rpm on a "N" case 9". Shredded the ring gear twice! The first Richmond "Pro Gear" had 200+ passes and the second was due to bad setup from someone who shoulda known better. My friend setup the third and it has 200+ passes and going strong. Get this, on Richmond street gears!
There is No comparison between the two. The Billet pinion support among the rear pinion bearing make it #1 diff. In all honesty, i'd pick the 9" over a Dana even. I have a narrowed 9" housing ut its only 38" wide. If it wasn't so narrow it would have been in that car.
If you intend on that 8.75 lasting I would find the link in this thread for the rear brace and stitch that across the rear of the housing. Once that sucker hits boost its gonna be hell on it if it actually gets traction.
Are you still thinking of running that bigger gear? Remember, the turbo needs "Load" on it so you will need a gear somewhere around 3.0?.... If you do run that one it will change where and when you get boost. The 3.23 gear that was in it was factored in when the size of the turbo was determined. Jose at Forced Inductions asked what gear I would be running before he gave me his choice after he knew what I built and what the "Goal" was.
Not telling you what to do but as a piece of advice I would read up on that. Tire height is also a factor.
Hurry up!:D I wanna know how she ***** and gits!!!:burnout:
On, another note,
got the White Flashtech 14volt 4 ring Halo's for the SRT. The red Plasma LED's will be here tomorrow for the "Terminator" look from the projectors. Probably put them in Wednesday. I'll post a pic when I get them done if you want to see them!
So far she's been like a Timex! Takes a lickn'. keeps on tickn':toothy7:!!
I joined the local LX Modern Muscle car club with around 300 LX, R/T, SRT8 and CSRT8 members (DAMN those SRT Jeeps are bad!!). Everyone asks about the front spoiler:cheers:... Definitely draws the SRT8 Charger crowd. Been having alot of fun with it! O'yeah, its in the upper 70's here bro!!:sign5:
