8.8 rear end or T lok and gears?

zero2sixr · 04-19-2009

I have a 2002 V6 and I would like put an end to the "one wheel peel" and be able to put whatever my car can make to both rear wheels so I am considering the T lok and gears or an 8.8 out of 99-04 GT. Which one would be the better investment considering price, reliability, difficulty of the install, time it will take, and how much of a mess things will be since i have to play with gears, brake swap...and whatever else these may involve. Thank you

I've bought a set of 4:10 gears and a tlok for my 08 V6. After looking at both, I decided to go with the gears. The 7.5 is a tough rear end. The fox bodies pushed the 5.0's on 7.5's so i figured it wouldn't be a problem for the 4.0L even with a power adder. I haven't had them installed yet, stuck in afghanistan
