You are going to give up a lot of strength to save that 3%. They have had that out for a while already, and most people who were running all-out cars broke them. Not worth it in my opinion.

It would be the same strength as any 12 bolt, right? Having an auto I don't think I would hurt it. Just haven't seen anything posted about it.

That is primarly a race set up. It's an aluminum section. It is for those looking for the extra 3% @ the track. I dont think they suggest it for the street.

It would actually be weaker. You would be taking away the rigidity of the iron center section and replaceing it with aluminum which is more likely to flex and throw off your pinion alignment. Which in the end is what leads to most pinion failures.

They're typically used for the little motor, lightweight Competition Eliminator cars that need every bit of ET out of their setup.

I wouldn't.

Hell, a local guy broke the aluminim center section of his 9" on a cam only car. Aluminum is weak
