Default 30 or 33 spline axles?

What does the upgrade to 33 spline do for me? It's a thicker axle, correct? How much stronger is it and is it worth $100? I'm currently at 375 rwtq but plan to use nitrous eventually. Thanks for any input!

moser gaurantees their 33 splines so if you break one they will replace it. however they are heavier and cost more.. i was told from empire that they are way overkill unless you are very deep 9's

Do you have a 12 bolt rear? If not and your running a stock size rear you won't need anything more than the 30 spline.

Dude,

If you are going to drag race your car very much you need the 33's. (I have a little bit of experience on this subject) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

To me it is worth the extra weight and expense (you can pay them now or pay them later) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Coach, I think you made my mind up. If one or two people think like you do, it's worth the $100 to be safe in my book. Thanks to everyone!

Sence your getting a 12 bolt, the 33's is what I would go with, then you won't have to worry about breaking them.

My theory.. why not?

If your spending over $2000 what's $100?

why not? just because they are not necessary. that is good enough for me to save the money and weight.

how many people on here have broken their 30 splines? not me (im hoping to eat these words one day <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> )
