Mid West Chassis 9" fabbed rear. Moser 9's have a torque arm issue. 12 bolt is a decent rear but isn't in the same class as a 9" IMO. Nothing like popping the center out and setting it up on a bench.

The Moser M9 has it's own torque arm and is one of the best on the market. This rear also weighs the same as the 10 bolt. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...html?item=1324 My Camaro cuts 1.29 60ft times with it with a powerglide. Bob

We have many turbo cars running our rear end. Almost all of the cars in all motor and drag radial at the LSX shootout run our stuff.

Don't waste your money on an M9. The MWC is equally bad *** and costs quite a bit less.
