9-inch Ends

[Jake Sealey]

Thanks Sean. We have some decisions to make. We have the 8.8 and to beef it up with all the good stuff and 9-inch ends is about $1000 dollars less than the bolt in 9-inch.

You can use the 9" ends on the 8.8" in Stock as long as you maintain the O.E. width .
Since aftermarket discs are allowed, this is a common modification .
If its a low power car the 8.8 may be a little quicker ,and they surely don't lack strength , I've done plenty of them for cars with turbos and blower in them.
As long as you can get your ratio , I'd use it.

If you plan on stepping up to a faster class like I am, the money I spent many years ago on the 8.8, could have been invested in the 9" that I am now faced with. A 4.88, 5.13 and now a 5.71 street gear are all that are available for the 8.8. Yes the 8.8 is more efficient, but gear choice may be more of a factor in the long run.
