DANA 44 axle and 3.73 gears
What do you guys think of this for a 350 hp semi-daily driver?

I thinks it's overkill for a third gen f-body. The 7.5 can handle 350 HP.

What makes it overkill? It's smaller than a 9".

I didn't mean it IS overkill but it's my opinion that it is, it's only what I think.
Mainly because it seems like it would cost more to have a dana 44 set up to fit an f-body than it would to beef up a 7.5.
I only replied because it was down the board a ways and had no other replies.
It's only my opinion. I expected others to reply back with theirs, that way f-body-addict could get a few opinions to work with.
