The main reason is because I would like to buy a rear suspension kit but I can only use it with the 8 3/4, plus the slant makes a decent amount of power but with the tiny rear end it just can't put the power down.
what do you mean "it just cant put the power down" ?
you may only need a gooder set of rear gear, or different tires
there are a few things you can do to enhance traction, and indeed, dialing in the suspension is one of those
but if your slanty does not make more power then the 71.4 can handle (and by handle i mean, turn tires without killing itself) i think your chasing your tail
