Rid yourself of the c clips if you use the 8.8. When we used to race my friend’s fox body we started breaking 8.8s the minute we got grip and that was w/ a stock 5.0 dropping the clutch at 2,800 revs. What we didn’t know back then was that the c clips were the weak point. They make a c clip eliminator kit for the 8.8 so here are a couple of links: https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/c-clip-eliminator-kits?N=4294825630&SortBy=BestKeywordMatch&SortOrder=Ascending&keyword=c%20clip%20eliminator
