ok i decided im gonna do my drivetrain before i get my supercharge so my car is ready to handle the boost when i go to build it. so im gonna put 31 spling strange axles in the rear. do i need a new carrier to put the new axles in and if so whats a good company. i was looking at aburn gear. and also should i just go ahead and put 3.73's in while im at it? it will also have a t56 in it from d&d performance.

You'll need a new carrier, Auburn has a good one, but its pricey, the Ford Racing equivalent should do just fine, and 3.73's are a good all around gear, but if you're thinking of doing more drag racing...go ahead with the 4.10's....all that plus your supercharger will give you some great giddy-up!....good luck!

P.S
Moser and steeda axles are great

Steeda Heavy Duty Axles - '79-'04 Ford Mustang


And try to get it all done at one shot to save you money at the shop...needless to say I guess...
And I believe an aluminum driveshaft would be a worthwhile upgrade while your down there...you gotta take the heavy stock one off anyway...

dont forget the c-clip eliminators for your rear end. this will keep the axles from coming out...lots of power will cause stuff like that.

Make sure that you get the RIGHT "C" clip eliminators, most are not designed for street use and even though they do get rid of the "C" clips, the bearings are much smaller than what is required on a street car.
You might want to check with these guys as well..
