I am in need of a rear end setup. I ran 13.2@105 this year at the track, and I blew my brand new trac loc. I need to upgrade, but to what? I originally had 3.73 gears, but I want to step up to 4.10's this year. I dont know what the best combination is going to be for me, especially since I am launching on dr's. The eaton looks nice, but then I will have to change my axles. I am going to college next fall, and I need to save as much as I can. What is my best bet, as far as cost and reliability? Will I need to change my axles? I really dont want to open up my rear again. I have a tko, centerforce, and a fms al/ds. the rear is the weak point here. Let me know what you think.
