Never wait for something to break to replace it.
Do it right the first time and you will be much happier.

Throw a good posi in the rear and go from there.

The 80e is definitely the way to go..but if you keep the 60e for now those 3.23's will be awesome ..and later with 80e it will be sluggish down low with them but boost will spool instantaneous. Its all matter of opinion but I'm a fan of high gearing with turbos. Allen Nelson and several other well known guys will agree.
