paradoxically, a crappy intake could blow up the motor anyway so it's a bit of a crapshoot innit

cool stuff, glad to see a 4.44! Unabomber over at nasioc would love you to death just knowing you chose that FD

You forgot shiny, new final drives aren't shiny and showy at a car meet. I know doing the re-gear itself is not a average driveway mechanic type job but swapping a diff in and out is. So take your diff out, have a shop do the tricky bits, and re-install it yourself.
