Well after having a little talk w/my wife, I'm considering buying a 12 bolt, but I would need to sell my brand new ls2 heads and the F13 cam w/the springs kit. What do you guys think?

H/C

that way you destroy your stock rear and HAVE to replace it.

h/c without a doubt

Go H/C then go easy until you get the money for the 12 bolt.

12 bolt... build from the ground up I always say.

i say 12 bolt too...you obviously cant afford both, or you would do both. you do the H/C first, then one day something blows in the rear, and your stuck with a H/C car that wont move.

Are you auto or M6?

First 3 big mods I bought for my M6 car were a real clutch, a real driveshaft, and a 12 bolt. Then I put stickies on it and had a ton of fun at the track, even with a stock motor. Ya don't have to worry about leaving at the rev limiter with those 3 things. Just floor it, bap-bap-bap-bap-bap and dump the clutch on the 3rd yellow. Wee.

I say 12-bolt (or 9") now, H/C later. While I won't argue that it's more fun to make big power numbers, it's less fun to have your car out of commission because a part broke.

If you run street tires it'll spin a bit instead of dead hook.

I've got 420 rwhp and I flat out beat on my car when I drive on weekends. My gears are dead quiet and no problems after 5k miles. I bought the whole rear assembly from another Firehawk owner (with heads and cam) he used it for 4k miles before selling.

Worst case, you break it and you WILL find away to make the 12 bolt happen. I'd go heads and cam!

12 bolt then add your power. If you are an A4 car, then you will have some time if you race at the track. M6 cars are a bit harder on the shifts depending how hard your car hits/hooks hitting gears. You can easily do a cam then later on add your heads, cam only cars are alot of fun and some are very fast.

Just m .02 I did the rear before a cam because my car hooked really hard with exhaust and gears.

H/C all the way. Since when does a rear end make you faster than a nice H/C combo?

You can always upgrade to a 12bolt when it's needed.

get the H/C 1st, then get the 12 bolt. i was making 455rwhp with my H/C and i still have my 10 bolt with 4.10s with no problems at all. i got about 30 passes on the rear. i feather the clutch DO NOT DUMP IT at 5000. my best 60' is 1.78.

12-Bolt. I wouldn't go with Strange though.

Hard choice but I say go for the H/C !

Damn guys, it is a hard choice. As far as losing money, I know I won't. My best time was a 12.7@110, with H/C it'll probably run the same e.t better MPH. Then you have to deal w/the people talking ****(ls1 h/c=slow) and I'd get so freaking tired of explaining(for them it'll be excuses) same **** over and over about the rear end thing. In the other hand, I can cut 1.5-1.6 and run low 12's maybe high 11's w/a pretty much stock LS1.

Why not? I've heard more bad things about Moser than Strange.

Morbid

There was a thread a while back about how horrible Strange was to deal with if something went wrong. The way Strange conducted themselves has kept me from wanting their products. Moser, I've heard bad and good. Same with Strange.

I think I'd go with a locally built 8.8" though.
