Need everyone's oppinion
The beauty of the 8-3/4 is you can have center sections with different gear ratios that easily be swapped out depending on whether you want to gear it for go or for economy.
I am already wishing my new 3:55 geared 8-1/4 was a third member type for that reason. My car's long distance travel days are over:)
For the money though, you aren't gonna break an 8-1/4 either unless you are a member of the CarCraft wrecking crew:munky2:
