12 bolt upgrades for power?
12 bolt upgrades for power? I am building a twin turbo ls setup for my 67 camaro.It will be mostly for street use but will see a few passes on test and tune night with drag radials.It will have a 4l80e with a transbrake and 3400 pro yank,probably 3.42 gears.It will be in the ballpark of 7-800 rwhp.It now has a 12 bolt with 3.73 posi and factory axels.I am thinking for my upgrades to this power level with drag radials and transbrake I should go to ether 9 inch ford ends or the new mosier ends with good axels to get rid of the c clips and help to prevent axel breakege.Also I am also thinking about going to a spool to mabye make it a little more predictible will spinning the tires under that kind of power.Am I on the right track with these ideas?If not please tell me what you would do to prepare for this new found power.Oh yeah I will do some good brakes,probably 12 inch wilwood or baer all around.Thoughts,opinions,advice?
If you will be doing a lot of drag racing then your best bet is a 9" rear end, but then again you can reinforce that 12 bolt with stronger axles. Ill be concerned if you slap some slicks on your car and do a lot of drag racing >_< As far as spool goes its the strongest and cheapest, if its just your racing vehicle then you should be good. A lot of people do not like the spool in their weekend cars or daily drivers, I have no experience with that but I guess I will find out soon when I buy my 9" lol. Cant help on the brakes part, dont have a lot of knowledge on that.
