Rick,
I assume that your Jag rear end is holding up?

Mind you I am still in the planning stage at the moment. Lot more details to work out than I thought. But it is fun, albeit costing me more ever turn.

I definitely am leaning towards an IRS kit. The ERA intrigues me the most at the moment. Although the EM is becoming interesting as well. Mostly street driven, occasional drag, or circle, but not much. I am looking at something similar as Rick's setup. Alum 427, stack injection, and supercharged.

Tranny I have not figured out yet. Of course the top loader would be ideal, but I am leaning towards a 5 or 6 speed thanks to the gas prices. Same with gear ratio. Working on that soon, but it would be in the streetable range.

800hp might be way on the high side, but seeing that KC just got 710hp out of a similar setup without the charger...... I figure I would play it safe and call it 800. Street tires BTW.

With the kit cars for example, it would be hard to beef up the rear end as they are included in the kits. Than again, maybe not, and this is something that I should look into further.

I have looked at other IRS rear ends, not only are they costly they also would need to be customized as well as the chassis that it is going into. Something that I am not looking forward to doing.

Hope that answers all of it.
