8.8's are decent stuff IMO and they would be at the top of my list if I needed to convert a 7.5" diff'd A-body to a beefier rear.
My Mustang has stock Ford 3.55 gears, stock Traction-Lok (set up with alternating clutches), welded tubes, c-clip eliminators, and Motive 28 spline axles. Car weighs 3450 at the line and runs 10.40's @ 130. High 1.4's/low 1.5's in the 60.
The 28's have held up great thus far, knock on wood. lol I do have a set of 33's I will install with a spool at some point because I don't expect those 28's to live forever.
