Whos running over 700whp on an 8.75?

Yep and I'm sure many of them haven't been around as long as Currie. Most of the talking points I saw are the same thing Currie was saying in the 80's. Like I said, I like the rear end it's just that these guys charge a ton for them. If you pull one from a vehicle and use regular parts you can build one reasonably, like you are doing. When I was wheeling you had two groups, the ones with money and Curries and the regular guys who ran D44's. It didn't matter to me as I ran a full size Cummins and already had a D60 up front and hybrid 80 in the rear. Now the guys in jeeps with built big blocks ran D60's.
I was fortunate enough to have a friend come by the store one day and say "hay man, I got a complete Ford 9" you can have if you come get it" so when I got off work, that's where I went. lol
