Yep, I'll get 31 spline axles, the iron case and some burly CVs and it should be good, basically its just taking the differential out of a fomoco product and using different bracketry to hook it up.... Google creative steel. They have a kit set up so you can just bolt in the 8.8. The weakness in the cts-v rear end is case deflection when you get wheel hop, from what I understand... some folks have good results with getting some aftermarket axles. But if I have my druthers I would rather build something to not break than build something hoping it won't break. The 9 inch IRS rear is about $2 grand more than the 8.8 rear end kit. So for similar results I'll take the 8.8
