My 3.3 engine is in! I'm goin to hobby town today to get it! I can't wait. I just have one question. Since I am running stock 2.5 driveline parts how much should I back off my slipper to stop breakage?

Pretty sure they reccomend tightening full, then back off about a quarter turn. Hope this helps.

That's if you're running the slipper clutch with the spring. If you have the two washers that provide pressure, you don't want to crank it down all the way. I tightened it to where I could just turn the spur gear by hand.

A lighter slipper setting would help. Just set it so it slips for about 2 feet when the throttle is pegged. Make sure the slipper is in good shape and that all the pegs are installed. A light sanding brings the pads back to life. I like to lay the sand paper on a flat table, and rub the pads on it in a circular motion until they're roughed up evenly. I'd have some extra drive shafts on hand as well. Especially centers.
