I'm going to buy some 3.73s for my 7.5. It's not looking good for an 8.8 at a decent price. I found some Motive 3.73s for only $138. Any reason to get Ford Racing over these? Or any other brand?
Also, I'm about to order a TrueTrac.

Ive never heard anything bad about Motive gears. I know alot of people using them, personally, and they havent had any problems. I have Motive myself. Ive heard of more problems using FRPP from casting flaws, etc. than I have with Motive. Its a name I know, and one I trust. Good price on them too... you wont beat it.

Well I called a local place to see about getting them installed. If they order the parts it will be $350, if I order the parts it will be $400. They are supposed to be the best place in town. :bang:

Well, I guess if Zodiac already has the Motives, he can vouch for them.. I would say it doesnt matter, just get the best priced value.. If its a good shop, they will stand behind their work..

Ok, a little update. I found a local place that does only race cars(usually), they will do it for only $280. My racer buddy hooked me up.

I've got the Motive gears also... no problems or complaints...
I think the 7.5 is tougher than a lot of people would have you believe... LOL! After talking to a few guys I really trust I'm not so worried with my rear end... especially if I just run street tires... LOL! and of course having a n automatic helps too...
