they sell special gears now to keep your existing 2 series carrier and run higher(numerically) gears.

Just dont use a OEM ford case. Get something decent like the Moser "N" case.. Much stronger.

You can see the strength in it. Also use a Daytona style pinion suppport of some sort. They add even more strength.

Ill start doing some research and see how much it will cost and what not. Any thing I should keep my eyes open for? And for what its worth I don't wanna put a huge gear raito in the back cause Im an a4 and want to be able to drive it on the high way. Low to mid 3.xxs?

id say run 3.50's if you plan on doing stall or bigger motor plans in the future. if your gunna run Na small stall id say 3.73's. and anything for a center case will really hold up well. like john sed its hardly the cases fault. buy GOOD gears and a Carrier. stay away from cheap or "lightened" alot of "nascar" centers and parts are out there. and they have all been Weakened for the extra weight reduction. and they wont hold up well for Drag applications.
