you guys talking about the tire rubbing give urself a pat on the back, cause thats what it is. The inside corner of the tire is rubbing on the fender under WOT... even tho I went to town with the BFH mod. I felt stumped and then started looking if the rear was even centered. It looks like the right rear tire is sticking out more and the left tire is more in maybe off by like a 1/4 or 1/2".. and that explains why the clearance is bad. Guess its time for an adj. PHB.

the stock 10 bolt is a total pile of junk, the clutches and springs in the stock posi unit arent strong enough to hold and thus your single tire fire.

go with the 9 inch, its easier and faster to swap gears in the 9 inch...one of the few good things ford has engineered lol
torsen. no springs.

Glad you got it figured out, that's kinda what I figured before I read the posts.

Even though your 335's are no longer smoking inside the fender, they're still going to smoke for the first 60' ft. of track.

Tried the DR thing, total waste of time and energy. Throw an ET drag stiffwall on there and let it eat.
