Lighter, cheaper, I won't say it's "stronger" but definately strong enough to hold the abuse. There are 8 second cars running 8.8's..

I dont see why not. There are 8.20-8.90 Stangs leaving the line @ 7200 rpm's with the same exact rear setup that I run minus a spool. I don't forsee mine ever breaking.

What do they cost again, Damian, 8.8 with all the goods for a 3 channel setup?

Dear John, the rears are designed to bolt right in.

No joke? Why aren't more people running these? There's got to be a catch. Lighter, less HP loss. Hmm...?

The catch is only one guy here in texas builds them. And he's pretty much always swamped. So, it takes about a month for him to build you one. Wich isn't bad if your ***** not sitting on jackstands.
