Maybe, but not likely. I don’t think you can even buy a pro gear for the 8.75 any more. Hard to find many ratios in the pro gear for the D60 either.

If you have a good clutch you might get lucky and get 50-75 runs out of the street gears. Maybe. Bad clutch tune up...not many.

May be time to look into the 9 inch. I suspect that in 10 years or less the only pro gears you can buy will be for the 9.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
