We were smarter than that.
We use aftermarket cases in everything.
We use aftermarket cases in everything. Just to clairify things. I bought the outter main housing (Fbody-Moser) and axels (Moser) and Detroit Locker and had a local asshat get the 3rd memeber housing and pinion support all assembled 3 years ago.
Phoey on me for not ever really taking a hard look at the whole thing. I know I paid for Moser 3rd member. The driveshaft was cut at a local place as well by the way.
All in all I am very grateful this ended up like it did- on the launch. Things could have been a lot different on the big end of things....
A Moser nodular cast iron 3rd memeber case and upgraded pinion support and setup kit should be at the shop on Tuesday. The PST driveshaft is already here.
I think the car has a lot more left in it as far as MPH and 60 fts. Taking care of our customer's first while making slow but, sure progress on this car has been and I am sure will always be.
Thanks Eric and Brian for stopping by and checking out the thread.
And special thanks to Bob@EPP for all the advice and the driveshaft.

If you can swing the coin, the aluminum center sections are nice weight savings.

yeah it peeled that driveshaft away right at the welds AND did that so its definately a beast with a lot more in it, Like Doc said better it was on the launch than the big end thats for sure.
Ummm, no.
People, understand something. A 9" isn't the problem and too much power isn't what killed it. Folks have gone faster on weaker rears.
I don't think Doc is trying to get folks thinking any of these things or looking for suggestions on what different type of rear to use.
The upgrade from a 9" is a better 9"
I hope that helps.
