They are the same, with the M9 being more expensive but you get them a lot quicker. I am very happy with my Midwest 9" and so are 99% of everyone else that has one.

Im going with the Midwest myself. The M9 would be overkill for my setup. The Midwest is also overkill but its cheaper overkill and IMO looks better.

i got a fab 9 in my 69 camaro. I run it 1.42-1.45 60 foots, every weekend, and the guy before me had the car running with a big nitrous motor so his 60's were probably in the 1.2's and it still works great

If you order the Moser M9 you will have it in a week or so. Check out this video of my car with the Moser M9.

the Midwest Chassis fabricated 9 inch rearend speaks for itself... this is a TRUE fabricated housing... not stamped. it is the strongest, lightest, most true bolt-in rearend you can buy for the f-body car. it will not make any noise in a dd street car, and it lives in 6 second race cars.
my everyday prices on all my components are usually better than other's "sale" prices. any very soon it will be available to ship within a few days.

Eric, I have been following your thread for awhile now and I will be calling you this or next week to start pricing. Do your offer light weight gear sets with your fab 9?

Thumbs up

If you order the Moser M9 the rear ships out in two days.









Super lightweight, we weighed one and it is the same weight as the stock 10 bolt! Bob

well my dad can beat your dad up! what now?

But in all seriousness, burkhart is the way to go. They have been tested and back by some of the fastest cars period. You know it will be a great product and be backed by the company.But the biggest factor to me is that it will accept any Torque arm compared to the m9 and midwest which you can only use their torque arm. Just something to think about.

Burkhart all the way.

Wrong!!!



Adding extreme horsepower to your F-Body setup? Needing some strength for your torque arm so you don’t rip the rear end apart at launch? Now you have a choice, the new Moser M9 Torque Arm Assembly. Moser Engineering has developed the strongest torque arm assembly on the planet.

Made from 4130 chrome-moly material the new M9 Torque Arm Assembly is able to withstand what ever a high-horsepower racer can throw at it. Patterned after the same style setup used in today’s Pro Mod cars, the Moser M9 Torque Arm Assembly is not intended for the daily driver, but is manufactured with the 10 second cars and faster in mind.

The Torque Arm is constructed with 1.25” o.d. 4130 chrome-moly, all joints and connections, including the 4130 chrome-moly threaded tube adapters are TIG welded.

The Moser M9 Torque Arm Assembly utilizes a unique sliding front mount that allows the torque arm to slide enabling the torque arm to move freely and not bind, which would impair the overall handling of the car. The front slider tube has a grease fitting which allows proper lubrication.

The rear torque arm itself mounts proprietarily to the M9 Housing via 3/16” thick mounting plates with two

The entire M9 F-Body Torque Arm Assembly utilizes existing mounting points, totally eliminating welding or additional fabrication.



EPP price $1,800.00 shipped!

i offer all gearset combo's with my rearend packages. Strange or Moser center section components are available, depending on your needs and budget. Richmond, US Gear, and Motive Performance gears are what we use. i do all gear setups myself to assure correct setup.

Thanks Eric, are any of those gear sets considered light weight?
