Well, I am getting the base line dyno today, and I am then going to put on the magnaflow cb system. What I want to know is where to jack at, with the independent rear, is it still ok to jack on the gear houseing like it was with the old 8.8

thanks.

Nope. You would be better to jack under the lower control arm. I hope you are going to put the car on Rhino Ramps to do this. They are about $30 at Wal-Mart. Then you can just back the car onto the ramps. I needed to place 2 pieces of mdf about 18" long and 8 " wide under the ramps so my belly would clear the under side of the rocker area. But it worked out fine.

Do you have to jack the rear one side at a time, or can you hit it in one shot by using the dogbone weight?

I put mine up one side at a time. You do get a little lifting of the opposite side if your going high.
