Supposedely the aluminum is stronger than the cast iron because of the way it bolts to the housing. Moser?
Obviously lighter. Price difference is like $150 or so right?

I have a Moser bolt through aluminum. It's a good choice and I would recommend it over the standard Strange aluminum center. I have seen these run in 2000 hp cars. If you want the best go with the Strange Super Case.

I had my MWC built with an aluminum center and drove on the street with just under 500 rwhp to it for a few years with no trouble, now I have a race car with a 40 spline and aluminum. Thats the only way id go.

There are plenty of people that have run Strange aluminum 9"center sections on the street and the track without issues.
The Strange aluminum case is much stronger than the stock Ford nodular iron case but not as strong as the Strange nodular iron. The aluminum case is 20 lbs lighter than the iron.
I would enjoy providing a quote for the Strange Eng case and internals of Your choice. Please call or message. We are open 7 days a week!
Thank You,
Carl

I got 40 spline axles, its just going to see track times. I dyno 500 rwhp on my old setup, now I have a new set up. And most likely will dyno another 50rwhp on motor plus a 200 to 300 shot.

I wanted to get a moser aluminum unit, but werent sure if anyone had any issues.

If anyone has something to offer just send me a private message with specs and a price. thanks

I'm running 35 spline gun drilled, spool, with the daytona pinion. Motor is carbed LS3 on nitrous. Car is pretty much racecar, but I won't own a car that I can't drive on the street. It will see plenty of street miles this summer.
