Its obviouse you are a young kid. I can appreciate the passion you show as well as anyone else. BUT you need to realize us "old dogs" may just know a little something. Your prioritys are just a little out of sync.
Every since you first posted on this forum it has been OBVIOUSE that you are nothing but a spoiled litte rich kid. It shows once again in your last comment about "i dont care what you think i know how much money i have in this" FYI I dont give a **** how much money you have in it, money doesnt make them go fast, you have to have the right set up internally in the motor but MORE IMPORTANTLY your drivetrain needs to be set up correctly. And so far your showing just how little you know about setting a driveline up. Now in all fairness I will remind myself that your only 17 or 19 years old, and evidently know one has taught you the importance of the proper set up.
Now for your drivetrain the only thing we have been able to tell for sure about your truck is that you want to use a 2 piece driveshaft. Why you would want to do that I will never understand, 2 piece driveshafts will not be near as strong especially in a "550 horse motor".
You have said many different things for a rear differential, but honestly its hard to tell just what ******* truck your talking about. You brag and brag about all these different vehichles noone knows just what vehichle your talking about.
Oh and a factory transmission will NEVER hold up to a "550 horse motor" I dont give a **** if its a TH350, TH400, 700R4, 4l60E, or a 4L80E. The ONLY way your ever gonna get any of those transmissions to hold up behind a "550 horse motor" is to have them BUILT.
Before you spend any more of your daddys money. might I suggest you do some research and get a GAME PLAN. If you want to build a bad ass truck you need to do it the RIGHT way. You are defintly NOT doing it the right way.
Heres a small list of what you need to think about for a good solid game plan.
First and formost you need to think about just what you are going to use the truck for. Race, street, street/strip, ect.... After you come to that conclusion you need to forget about the motor. Afterall guys that think purley into the motor in reality just have penis envy haha. You need to learn to become an ASSMAN think about it from the rear to the front. It is purely common sence when you build a high horse motor you are doomed to have a chain reaction of failures. So the ASSMAN theory comes to play.
Decide what Rear differential you plan to run. 10 bolt, 12 bolt, curry, ford 9",ect...
Then decide what Gear ratio you want to run. 3.73, 390, 4.10, 4.56, 4.88, or 5.13, ect...
Then you need to think about a driveshaft, theres really not alot you can really do for this UNTIL the rest of it is done. But still need to have a plan for where to have it made.
Next would be IMHO the MOST IMPORTANT part of the build. The Transmission, which one are you going to want to run, Now is the tricky part because manuals and automatics will "like" different set ups, aswell as different automatics will need different gear ratios. THIS is where you REALLY will need to do your homework.
Next would be the BRAKING SYSTEM, Let me just save you some troubles, plan on the BIGGEST Braking system you can use, There is NO such thing as overkill when it comes to stopping.
Now you can think about your motor and how bad you really want it.
After you have thought about all of those things then write them all down, and do your research if the setup will actually work. Chances are your gonna find that your gonna need to go back through the list and tweak a few things.
You are trying to put the cart before the horse.
