Opinions... Maybe they'll use this for 2015 advances from the mt82 debacle.

He wasn't talking about rear ends, but I agree. I had that very combination in this car (302, dual-quad):

Isn't the 8.8 pretty close in quality to the 9". Alot of present drag racers live by the 8.8. Why did Ford make the change to the 8.8?
