Tru-Trac What Else While Im in There?

Im thinking about purchasing a Tru-Trac but want to make sure that I am fully aware of any other types of modifications that can be completed while installing this piece. Let me know what you've done!

LPW is the only one, bolts are integrated into it.

I wouldn't add more gear when PD supercharged unless you enjoy shifting prematurely or purely want a tire melter. There's no point.

Don't go G-Force Devin. Get DSS.
Seen too many "1000hp" G-force axles snap at 600rw..
Go with the best, first time. DSS.


Or just get a ZL1 rear end with 3.73's.
$3500 off jegs and it'll be good to 1200rwhp easily.

Im thinking the 1500hp or 1800hp rated axles.
Ill check out the 3.73's. Do those have better pickup off the line or am i just going to be running thru my gears? Hard decision going with diff gears or staying stock..

You won't run out of gear in any half mile events.
You'll notice a difference over the stock 3.45's.
Strong rear diff and solid axles. You won't have to upgrade anything in the rear end if you go that route and do a stroker and really turn up the boost.
So I vote ZL1 rear end.

You can do anything you like to the stock diff but it's still a weak link and not worth putting money into. Do the zl1 upgrade and forget about it

What is it going to take for me to upgrade to the ZL1 setup? I will be using aftermarket axles of course and a Tru-trac. Im assuming i will stick with the stock ZL1 gears then?

Everything gets changed out, nothing for the SS rear works on the zl1
