Sorry for straying off topic, but what have you done to beef up your 10 bolt? If you don't want to clutter this thread up with unnecessary information pertaining to this thread, feel free to PM me. Thanks!

Sorry, I can't vouch for any of those cams since I have never had any of them

I've done Torsen lim. slip dif, Moser axels, Motive gears, TA girdle, professional blueprinting.
It has handled 3800 launches on nitrous (~550 rwhp).
I do not think it could handle over 4000 though
Have got 1 best of 1.49 60' and most in the 1.5x range.

I wasn't thinking when I read that and thought you had 3800 launches on your rear-end. Then I came to my senses and realized you meant RPMs...If you don't mind me asking, how much did that run you ($)?

Less than a 12 Bolt I can't really remember since I bought the parts gradualy over 3 year period.I would say around $1000 (GP purchases, except for axels)
In an auto it has done me good, an M6 would grenade that thing easy.

I think I'll need to look into a girdle, lsd and gears as well. I just bought a new 10 bolt with the intentions of selling my car. Now that I'm modding it and keeping it I would hate to have to throw away a new 1200 rear end for a 2000 dollar rear e.d Where did you get the LSD from?

G5X4 and MS3 don't have enuff of a lumpity lump idle. The Trex sounds like its gonna eat you alive, and then it does.

Yep, and has gotten me several races on the street. I like it because it makes great power and is not as hard on the drivetrain as the TREX.

Yeah man, TRMIN8R sounds really mean and he kicks some ***. I like that a lot. Would be nice to see him racing some T-rex cam car
Couldnt find a good clip of T-rex tho. Ive seen some but.. crappy quality.
