    8.8 proven good to 1000hp with proper assembly and parts. Lighter, cheaper, and maintains proper uca location

    Ya an 8.8 with the right stuff will handle 500whp all day long. I got mine with the belief that I'll never break it. 33 spline strange axles with a spool, C-clip eliminators, welded tubes, and braces.

    Yea I've heard that they can handle high hp numbers. But I was also going to tub it out so I could fit wider tires an I was told the only way to do that Wouk be a narrowed 9" with cool overs

    You can narrow an 8.8 and use coil overs too. If you already have an 8.8 I'd use it. To be honest there are a lot of guys making more than 500hp and hooking it without narrowing the rearend.
