At what point is a spool a good idea and or necessary? Currently, the car in question has a Moser 12 bolt with an Eaton posi, 33 spline axles and 3.73's.
The car runs high tens at about 128 mph. 60's have ranged between 1.44 to 1.5x's. We're thinking about switching to 4.10's and wondered if we should do the spool at the same time. The car rarely sees the street but we do drive it
occasionally to the track, which is 6.5 miles away. Race weight is 3690 if that matters.

My busted Tru trac Acts like a Spool, the worst I have seen is tires wear quicker. Driver fine in the rain and on the freeway. i also have a deleted front sway and a rear drag sway bar with SFC's, the car behaves very well. Oh and I also may mention Skinnies and Slicks are on the car too.

I run a spool in everything. The only time its an issue is if the cars broke and you have to push it other then straight on the trailer. Then youll need a lot of help......
One thing I like about them is that when you pull up to a stop sign to turn rt say.....you dont need to use the brakes. you cant stop the car just by turning in abit....Lol.

I was helping JL-ws6 get his car in his trailer at his home. No engine or trans and him sitting in the vehicle I am sure it was under 2800 pounds. It was one mother F'er to move with me alone on a flat surface with a decline and he car had skinnies. He was steering and braking.

If you're keeping your car n/a I'd even consider a 4.30 gear while you're at it. 4.10 is good for mild power adders or if you're running a 26 inch tire, but if you have a 28 on it and are leaving it n/a I'd put a 4.30 in it.
I did the swap once I started spraying my car and it was seeing high 9's, I ran it with the posi into the 10.50 range, and never had a problem, same 33 sp eaton that moser put in a 12 bolt.
