LS FD with CD009 and Ford 8.8 rear
Is anyone already running this setup on a FD by chance? I would like to know where you had the drive shaft custom made and how it's working out?

I just need to change the tire size and final gear to get the rpm and speed on this calculator correct? In this case the stock 370z 6speed transmission with final drive ratio from a Ford 8.8 (3.55 in my case) and 275/35/18 (what I plan on running).

Yes. You will need a 2.73, and will need to do a gear change to the Explorer rear end. You would have had to do this work anyway, as very few come with LSD carriers. The 2.73 rear gears are very common in 2011-2014 V6 Mustangs.
So get the cheapest open Explorer diff you can find with an open diff. Put in a fresh LSD diff and new gears.
This is why using the cd009 does not really save you much money in the end. The money you save needs to be put back into the rear end change.
