Drivetrain for rear end; Transmission for shift kits and such.
Try looking before asking such EASY questions.

Definately go with a shift kit for the trans but I also suggest a higher stall converter. The auto tranny can take some abuse but depending on how well tha car was cared for and the milage you may end up having to rebuild it soon. As far as the rear end goes don't waste your money trying to beef up the stocker. They are crap! Your best bet would be to put a 12 bolt and do it right the first time. Good luck.

you mean, axle swap!

Yes the stock axle will not hold up to much more power than what a stock engine puts out. You can easily spend a $1000 rebuilding the one you have and it still won't last long. Better off in the long run.

never did axle swap before. do i go with aftermarket or junkyard find!

That depends on what you plan on doing. Are you going to beat the car and race all the time or is it going to be a driver and occasional race? If it's going to be a beater then I would search out the local junk yards for a old 12 bolt. If you plan on driving the car daily and have your race from time to time (like me)then I would go for an after market one from Strange. It all depends on what your going to do and how much you have to spend. Good luck.

this car is a daily driver and i do take it on the strip also ever weekend(not now since the track is gettin fix, also a new look).

Well then the next question you need to ask yourself is am I keeping the car or am I getting rid of it in the next year or so. Don't put a lot of money into a car your not going to keep.

i am going to keep it for a good while. like 4 to 6 years!

is this a good axle 12 bolt kit!

If youve got the $$ to spend, the Strange is definatly a nice unit. I could think of a few better ways to spend 3 grand, but hey not my car....

it's call a good paying job. but i am still thinking gettin a 12 bolt from a junkyard and start rebuild the axle from scatch.
