That is better suited than a standard aluminum strange or an "offshore" cheapie. use a billet pinion support. The Ford racing unit is a bit weak (cast aluminum that is) for your application.

i was going to buy the speedway forged alum. daytona unit, do you think that one is ok being forged and not billet?
bought a gforce detroit locker and a lightened/polished 4.40 gearset
trying to do it on the cheap but this stuff is adding up quickly lol!

That's fine. It's just the casting you want to stay away from "in your case". Lesser tq /hp/car weight can use the cast aluminum piece ( like my car) without a problem. Yours just has too much power for the casting. TRhe forged part will not fail. Good job!

etracer is right , the Strange Ultra case is a serious cut above their std aluminum case ( strength wise). Good to hear from you Jeff!
