Mid West Chassis fabricated 9". It seems kind of over priced but when you add up everything that comes with it and add up the price of similar parts and a Moser 9" it's not that much more, and it's stronger and lighter.

And would a mod move this thread to where it belongs.

Go with a 9", An M6 is gonna like to shock the tires. I love my moser 9" had it 6 years and no issues. Midwest fab 9" is good stuff too.

I broke my 10 bolt with nothing but bolt ons. 4k launch on the track with sticky tires. S60 is the cheapest and strongest way to go. 9in are great also but you will have a lot more $$$ in it. OP, A 10 bolt will survive at that power for *a while* just don't plan on putting tires on it or its doomed

I had 3.73 put in my 10 bolt about 7-8 years ago. The last 2 years I have been pretty hard on it. It probably has ove 100 passes down the track but it was all done on regular tires on 18 inch rims. About a month ago I got tired of spinning. I went and got some racestar wheels and 275/60/15 et street pro radials. First launch at 3k rpm and the driveshaft came out of the car. The car dident move. I had a drive shaft made only to find out the rear now has a very heathy hum. I will not be waisting anymore $ on it. Im goin to save for something else. not sure which one yet but at least the car is still driveable at the moment.

Don't mean to tread jack but since in here and not in the right area �� I'm looking at 450-480 to the rear don't plan on tracking it or sticky tires just some really good street tires will the 10 bolt hold up? Really don't want to spend any more money on the car just yet and its a m6 with 373

So far in my experience as long as its spinning it seemed to be fine. Its when it hooks is when **** flys to pieces.

dont waste your money trying to "reinforce" the 10 bolt, save your money and do it right the first time with one of the above recommended rears

Even when you give it a bit of a launch on the street and your'e running over a Manhole lid its nice not to worry.

I have the stock 10 bolt, but with a Detroit Trutrack upgrade, and it's still holding at about 550 rwhp/rwtq with Nitto dr's and 4.10's....but I don't launch the hell out of it, wheelhop, etc...
