A search showed no results, so I'm posting this for future reference and new owners:
Note that the 8.8 in our rearends require a special inner pinion bearing and race. You can only get it from FRPP in a complete install kit that's going to cost you around $150. Part #M-4210-B-1.
This shouldn't be a problem if you're installing new gears and it's a low mileage car. But if the shop accidentally destroys your old inner pinion bearing pressing it onto the new pinion gear, the standard 8.8 inner pinion bearing/race will not fit without substantial reworking of the setup procedures.
I found this out the hard way, and my car has been on a lift for two days waiting for the proper part to come in from FRPP.
