Talking My New 9"

Thought I would post this over here also.

Bought through Thunder Racing. Alum case, 3.50 Pro Comp gears, spooled, narrowed 3" each side, 40 spline gun-drilled axels; 5/8" studs, Strange drag brakes. Had it locally powder-coated after all the brackets were welded on

Damn Dave, That looks amazing. what did you have for a rear-end last year? the tracks will be open before you know it, and I am sure we will see some great numbers from the ss this year.

Last year was a 12-bolt that had been in there for the last 4 years. Great rear end, just didn't like to be launch on boost. This rear end should be able to handle the power. We're also mini tubing it so we can set the ***-end down on top of the tires.
