Default Which Rear End

Going to buy my rear end soon so which one would you go with.

I am getting 40 spline gun drilled axles, spool and 5/8" studs.

I will be using a street gear, not pro gears.

I'd go with the new Moser M9, which comes with the best torque arm I have seen. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...html?item=1324

1000 bucks for the burkhart housing is just the housing itself?

Mostly street driving with some trips to the track, down the road a dedicated strip car is the plan.

OK, I would recommend building a very stout 9" and upgrading to a spool when you pull it off the street.

I am attempting to build this thing one time chassis and drive train wise where all I do is add power to it and adjust the chassis.

I would lool at a Fab housing then. There are a lot of options you can add that are not available with a standard housing.

I was looking at that M9 from moser, it has an offset torque arm so there is more room in the trans tunnel, thought that was kind of cool but it is expensive $$$$$

If they are referring to the Burkhart out of St. Louis his work is 2nd to none!!

I would not recommend Moser to anyone, the products look like **** and they treat the dealers a little rough lol, ask Me how I know.
