I told my wife she needed a new rearend...she said I did too, HELP! So I have narrowed it down and have decided that I want a 12 bolt rearend filled with the 4.10 gears. From what I hear the Mosers seem to be having a whine problem. I came from the school of 'There is no better than Strange' anyway so that doesn't phase me, I was kinda leaning that way already. My question is this, what do I need to make this a drop out and bolt in no 
install? I want to keep the ABS and the crappy ASR. I would like to get it all done right the first time. Also what spline axle? I was thinking 33, too much for me? Eventually I would like 550tq, and the car to be set for autocross with a few passes yearly at the strip. All help is greatly appreciated, I just want it all to come to me pretty, so it's a simple drop/replace type of weekend.

No I have not decided on a carrier yet, what type are you looking at for that? I have since confirmed my own decision as well for the 33's thanks!

Have you guys seen the 9 inch carrier Strange is making with 12 bolt gears and all?You use a 9 inch housing with the Strange designed carrier, you can change the gears like a 9 inch but use the more effecient 12 bolt gears=less hp loss?Pretty cool!

I haven't heard of these, and can't find much info on their website. Would these be stronger than a normal 12 bolt? Assuming it would use a heavy duty posi unit (not spool). I have also read about Strange releasing a dana 60 rear for f-body's next year. I would like to know more about both options, but Strange hasn't answered my email. So if anyone has any input, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

That would be rather impressive to accomplish, I wonder if that would change install at all. FASTONE as you find out more about this and projected cost please keep us informed! Dana 60 huh?
