yes comes with true trac.

and why not locker? - cause like me i want to keep abs and traction control. and with a locker you cant hit the gas on a curve

jerflash, is this true? you went with a True Track center section? I really hope this is misinformation for your sake, I posted of 10 or more people that broke these with 400 hp or less, the pole you created was like 13 to 3 for the Wave Track. I hope this is a misprint because if you are making 500 on the gas, launching at 6k with slicks, you will be posting very soon how your True Track is now broken and you are going with a Wave Track, Spool or Locker. Good Luck and I hope your car is an exception to the most recent True Track breakage rule.

I asked Moser how much HP the wavetrac can handle and this is what they said "You will break the axles or ring gear first."

s60/ true trac here. LOTS of track pass. 2step at 6500 dump clutch-hold on.
I looked into the MWC but it was way to much at $3700 just to save 40#s I got my s60 for 2150 as a buy in deal.

the way i looked at it was the S60 is awesome and will last whatever i could throw at it even with the truetrac.
the s60 setup the way i wanted was 2300 shipped...then add the cost of a chromoly pro series TA 2900.

the Fab 9 shipped is 2700 base price and its 3200 with the wavetrac. so for 300 bucks more you are gettin a lighter assembly and a posi with a lifetime warrenty. the the fab 9 come with all the little brakeline holders and ebrake Braket. and have LCA relocations already welded on which you would have to add to the s60 for 100 bucks including install.

the fab 9 with the wavetrac just makes alot of sence...atleast in my eyes...what does everyone else think?

Dont forget about the drivetrain loss with s60 compared to the 9". Like jerflash stated once you add everything there really is not that much differnce in the price. Also I asked Moser how the wavetrac will hold up and the said "You will break the axles or ring gear first". So my vote goes with the 9".

I have the Midwest Chassis Fab. 9". best investment I've spent yet on my car and as for the tru-trac, mine is only about a year old now, around 400 rwhp on motor making 6K LS7 clutch dumps and it seems to be doing just fine and thats driven 45 minutes each way to the track as well.

MWC is the fab9 and thats why i got

base price shipped for the MWC is 2700 and the base price shipped for the M9 is 3200
the MWC fab9 also has all tabs and brakets for brakelines and ebrakes already on the rear.
MWC is also lighter and is completly custom...you can take to eric and tell him exactly what you want and thats how he will make it...

the choice is clear
