Thanks, I appreciate it!

The way I see it, with the prices between the Moser 12 bolt and nine inch being so close in price, it is clearly up to the customer as to which one they want to go with. I installed a Moser 12 bolt in my '99 Z28 back in 2002 and it was dead quiet until I took it to the track, and launched at 4000 rpm. Ever after that I had gear noise. This doesn't happen with the nine inch. Bob

Other then the noise from high rpm launches does it last? Or will it break. I got a great deal on a used 12 bolt with 33 spline axles and a eaton posi. Will this hold up to a hard leaving 450rwhp car?

what about the h/p loss of a 12 bolt compared to a 9 inch? Is there more drag with a 9 inch then a 12 bolt, because thats what i was lead to belive.

There is a little drag, but nothing too major. Again, I'm not too worried about picking up gear whine with an auto that won't really run a big stall. The 10 bolt already bit it once, and now I'm saving for something for better insurance than the rebuilt crap under the rear.

The M9 is a very strong rear and is the one that I have. It is about the same weight as the 10 bolt to boot. It comes with an awesome torque arm and a transmission crossmember, which gets the torque arm off the transmission.

Here is my link to the M9. The housing/axle/torque arm/crossmember package starts at $1,800.00 shipped, then you pick what center section you want from the options. Bob
