Hello all^^ I just have a fiew questions as to know if it would be a good idea to upgrade my 07 mustang V6 rear 7.5" axel to an 8.8" and swap for an in-cabin lockable Auburn LSD. I want to prepare the car for the supercharger Im going to install soon (supercharger is the last thing to go in)...is that a good idea? (You guys and gals know the routine, bigger better brakes, stronger clutch components, better handeling shocks and struts, other suspension upgrades, chassis stiffeners, and list goes on) Also will I need a new drive shaft for this?. Would it be a direct replacement bolt up to the drive shaft?

Or will the 7.5" hold 350 rwhp relyably?

In any case what do I need to consider?

I would go ahead and upgrade to an 8.8, but I like over kill

For me its the peace of mind of knowing that I know with out a doubt that the Axle will handle it. Because I do intend on driving the stang back and forth to work...soo

It's not over-kill in anyway, especially with your planned upgrades and running a manual. Not sure but don't the new Pony packages run the 8.8? Ought to bolt right in but I really haven't kept up on all the newer options. Sounds like a fun project!
