The front actually is lowered some to keep a good rake other wise the front unloads to much and just spins the front tires. This thing squats like you wouldn't believe. But when I do the swap I have to do the 2"body lift in the front so I will get the 2" drop spindles to get it back down. There are no e-lockers for the 8.25 fronts and the 9.25 won't bolt in with out redoing everything even then it probably won't work. I think with some slicks and the way it squats it will launch hard.

I think it would be sweet to pull the wheels in this thing. Lol. As it sits with a good 7psi luanch it pulls the front right wheel about an inch off the ground. The first time it happened I had no clue as I was busy fight the steering wheel. After the run the guys in the tower came down and ask "WTF is in that thing". I told them and they said "did you know it pulls the front right wheel?". I thought they were joking but they were dead serious.

So I've been doing some reading. I didn't realize that when you guys talk about turbine size you go by the major diameter. So I looked up mine and the compressor is almost 103mm and the turbine is 79mm. I'm wondering if this would be a good single. It's capable of 45ish psi from what I can tell on the map. I email turbo entices to see what they say about max boost and rpm. Looks like 106000 rpm IIRC.
