I wanted to see what you drag racers run name brand wise in your rearends. I am going to be replacing my 3.90 rearend gears in my moser 9" with some 4.56 gears and was wondering what brand gear I should go with. Whine is not really an issue. Im looking for a strong gear that wont break after a really hard launch. I know setup is 90% of the strength and noise factor but I still wanna know which gear is a good solid gear. I was thinking the Motive Performance gear but wasnt sure.... Let me know what yall run. This is a decent horsepower car and is not a DD. Thanks for the help guys.

 

Local guy (ex-racer) built mine. Break in was: "Fill her up and beat the hell out of it. If it ever makes noise or breaks, bring it back and I'll make you a new one while you wait."

Find someone like that. Been perfect so far.

 

Richmond.

 

Richmonds are noisy as f*ck, I do not care how well they are set up. BUT I will say when you race a car some noise always develop.

I forgot to mention. I have been using US gears for years, no issues.

 

+1 for Richmond. Mine are noisy as hell between 65-75mph, but they take 7000rpm clutch dumps in a 3900lb car like a champ! I trashed a Motive Performance ring/pinion before I went with Richmonds. They were dead silent but only lasted half a season......

 

I like the richmond gears, there's nothing wrong with a Pro gear from strange or Mark williams too, more $ but they hold up great as well. Just have to make sure they have them available for your specific rear.

 

Looks like im gonna go with the richmonds then. Im not 1000 hp so I dont think I need a Mark Williams or Strange gear. Thanks for the help guys!

 

Yukon are great quiet designed gears. US gear / perfection gear builds most oem rear gears. Can't go wrong there.

 

My Motive 3.73s are noisy, but have been strong thus far (knock wood).

 

I run richmond pro gears in my turd
