I would be more worried about your axles those will be first to break its no fun chasin your wheel down the street with the axle still attached.Ive busted 8 ,7.5" rear ends already within 8 years.

been there done that, no fun at all bro...But with this 3:73 Ford 9" i should have no worries...my next concern is my drive shaft and crank..along with the crank, you guys think even if i had the stock 3:23 (im pretty sure the 96' z28s came stock with these)..wouldnt handle my power along with the drive shaft, what should my main concerns be??? opinions welcomed !!! PLEASE ha..thanks
