the 8.8 is plenty strong. with 31 spline axles. upgraded limited slip, HD bearings. forged pinion and ring gear and girdle cap there will be zero problems. I've seen many mustangs with 700+hp that run a beefed up 8.8" and have no problems whatsoever I dont need a locker in this car its going to be a summer daily driver and the price of a 9" setup for this car is out of my budget. also the 9" wont be a bolt in, and they are scarce here.
