More info on the rear and what will be the use of it? Is it spooled, street or strip? If not beating the **** our of it constantly and 4k clutch dumps it should be fine. If its a posi however and drag racing allot its probably a ticking time bomb.

Should be no problem on the street, as the tires will spin long before hurting the rear.
The 12 bolt should hold up ok for limited track duty too, just don't launch the
car by side stepping the clutch WFO...
Be careful to get both tires wet in the waterbox and do an even burnout.
I've see many people smoke a good posi by having one dry tire and one wet, then
doing a peg-leg burnout. The posi is obviously not too thrilled about this...

Agree with the others. I assume you have 33 spline axles? If you don't side step it or wheel hop, it will probably hold. If you have real good traction with that power, even on the street, it's possible to twist an axle. A spool would be better in any case with that power IMO.

I have your same problem and looking to switch my 12 bolt now with a fab9 or M9, but i will be mostly track.

With sticky tires it will most likely become a one wheel wonder very quickly. Bob

What can you replace the Eaton HD Posi with to make the Moser (w/33 spline axles) live at those power levels (800-900rwhp) and hook on the street with DR's? I'd want it to be useful on the road race track or autocross as well.

Thanks,

Jim

You might end up having too, if you are racing allot you might want to think about selling it now and getting a 9'' while you can actually get some money for it. Or at the minimum get a spool for it.

I'm not really sure what you could do. The best thing to do, and has already been suggested, is to sell the 12 bolt and go with a nine inch. For 800 to 900 rwhp you are limited to either a locker or a spool, so for road racing the locker would be what you'd want to use. The only problem with a locker is it can cause the back of the car to wiggle as it locks and unlocks, certainly not an ideal situation for road course use, but many do it. Bob

Good chance you will break that T-56. That Spec Twin disk is very aggressive and doesn't slip at all. I broke two teeth off of 4th gear with a G-force T-56 and a Spec Twin disk.

I am sure G-force gears are stronger than stage 4 from 6speedinc. I am sure my 4th gear broke from a shock load I applied to it not because of too much power.



Quick Reply: will my rear handle a 402 with a f1a running 12psi maybe 14?
