Chris did you twist the 33 spline? Would you have bought the 35 spine if to do again?

Re: 12 bolt or 9" ???? What are your center section options when looking at 12-bolt 35-spline axles?
I plan on launching at high RPMs on slicks, yet I will be driving the car on the street quite a bit (since the track isn't open all that much).
I'm thinking soft locker, as I don't think anyone offers a posi in 35-spline configuration.

Re: 12 bolt or 9" ???? Strange 12 bolt w/33 Spline axles, Stange has an upgraded set of axles that has the 4140 Heat treaded A-36 mild steel...Works great and not to worry about twisting.... <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

Re: 12 bolt or 9" ???? Nope, haven't had a problem with my 9" axles yet - but 2 friends with a 12 bolt have both killed their 33 spline axles. I just blew up my centersection (actually just cracked it).

Re: 12 bolt or 9" ???? Thanks! <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
I posted a link to it at LS1.com but the title of the thread didn't specifially state NA 9s so you may have missed it because of that.
Stay tuned for 8s. <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: 12 bolt or 9" ???? FYI The highest spline count on a 12 Bolt that can be had w/o going to a spool is 33. Even the 33 Spline is only the Eaton posi, that is resplined after leaving the factory.
