Default need serious help with choosing rear end

Hi all,
1999 Trans Am 228/232 cam

about 380RWHP

I know sooner or later I will need to grab a rear end. i found a moser dealer in canada so thats who i will be going with but i am not very car/tech sauvy. in translation i dont know ****. so i was wondering if someone on here wouldn't mind giving me assitance in chosing the right parts for a complete moser package.

What kind of driving will you be primarily doing and what other use will you use the car for.
I would lean toward the Dana and 12 blt

The information that I have put together at the above link should help you out. Do you have a three channel (abs) or four channel (abs/tcs) in your car? Bob

I plan on using it for street driving but may drag race once or twice but that won't be my main goal.

Also, I have abs/tcs

Since you have ABS/TCS I would go with the Trac-Loc which will operate seamlessly and will easily handle the power your car is producing. Here is a link to it. http://shop.brutespeed.com/Moser-9-I...c-Truetrac.htm Let me know if you have any questions. Bob

M6 or A4 trans?

We ship to Canada all the time so feel free to give us a shot on a quot e for you. We are direct with Moser and Strange and manufacture the ever popular MWC fabricated 9 inch rearend package that just can't be beat in price vs value. You'd be surprised on how much we can save you!

I am in a similar position except I need a rear end because I broke it yesterday. I just priced out the moser 9" with 4channel and without the extras I want at 2600. Way too much for me right now. It seems the only other option for me due to funds is to rebuild the baby 7.5" which horribly sucks. I might have to postpone the cam install for a rear end. Problem is the cam install and tune is around 1900 and that's all I have ready to spend.

Put the cam in yourself... its really not that hard. There's plenty of info on that here.

we could probably get you into a rearend for the 1900.00 but it will most likely be with a spool. We are direct with Strange and Moser and have many other sources of parts... give us a call sometime and we can discuss you options. You could do the cam yourself and probably fix up your 10 bolt with the money you save on that.

Take a look at the above links for the Moser 9 inch and the Moser 9 inch fabricated rears. I would go with the Trac-Loc for your power level. Let me know if you have any questions. Bob

The spool was around 2500 shipped and that was using my own brake backings off the 10 bolt
