What kind of rear end parts do you have hidden in the pumpkin and axles? The rest of the setup looks great. Are you planning on running a decent size tire or DR or slicks?

i have 3:73 gears, and HD rear parts. the soft lock will take the pressure off until i put a solid rear end in. Dan at van steel said it can handle 3,000 hole shots on DR. Its will be my race/show car. Shafiroff said the engine can handle 250 -300 shot, which will be my next engine upgrade.
