I am sure Greg might be interested. Had a few others ask too he isnt here to answer had a big event for his 4-wheeler in Deland.
I did the rear first. I broke a total of about 12 sets of gears with the 10 bolt. For a few weeks straight I broke one every week. greg finally told me get a 12 bolt or your not racing needless to say it took me 2 weeks to get the money a week for them to get to me. I deal with American Motor Sports in Orlando. Pretty nice people and can get just about anything. Just tell them Paula sent you.
If you doing good on the tranny do the rear first. then build the tranny and crank her up.

What kinda of power are you guys making? Also, how much does the car weigh and what rear gear are you running?

Thanks

Great video! What are your suspension mods?
Looking at the video it seems like the rear of the car body lifts up off the rear tires instead of squatting when you launched. Why is that?

the LAST thing you want is the rear to squat. you want the tires (axle) really lifts the body up and out. their suspension is stup right, esp in the rear. they wanted to test out how far they could go on the radials....now its time to back it down a bit

I agree.
What suspension mods have you done to accomplish this?

Had to make some modifications LOL. Greg had to grind the caliper, cut bump stops, massage the rear inner front finderwell. I can't complain I love my MT DRs. They work better for us then the slicks we had. You should do fine on them. We run 22psi and you don't have to do a major burnout Just warm them up.

Hey Paula... Thanks for posting those pics. Do you have any pics of the car from directly behind it? Also, is your rear end the stock length?

12 set of gears??!!!

i want to change out my rear before it breaks. I hate breaking and having to tow the car home , then tow to a shop , etc etc.

what kind of rear did you get and how much did you pay? I'm looking to get a Strange 12 bolt 4 channel rear with 33 or 35 spline axles with 3.42 gears.
My car will be done this weekend and it will have about 40 more hp. I'm kinda reluctant to take it to the track but of course I'll take it out one time for sure, but not sure if I'll do it on the new Bogarts..
