Two part question:

1. What's the limits for a bone stock 8.25 w/ suregrip?
2. Same question but with quality aftermarket gears, axles, & posi.

Thanks.

Just rebuilt the stock 8.25 in my Diplomat cop car. I'm running a 425hp 410 stroker with 3200 T/A converter and 3.55 SG. I chirp second a few times just about every time I take it out. I got the gear, carrier, and rebuild kit from Dr. Differential and the price was reasonable and the parts were great quality except for the axle bearings, but they work just fine.

I dunno, mild 360, A833, 2.94SG, P255 tires in back, 87 Diplomat, bang shift many times, no issues.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

425 hp? Pretty good. Guess none of yous running sticky tires or dead hooking lol. Maybe I'll just get a 9.25 from a Dak.

Thanks thumbs

On the front cover of a few Direct Connection catalogs.

Wish I could remember more details but its been a long time since I read the write up on it, mentioned in more than one of the old DC bulletins.
