high powered muscle car is 285hp?
they were overpriced pigs that could barely get out of their own way..why do you think mustang gt's got so popular..


to the op, i'm not sure i would spend the money on a 7.5 rearend, ive seen more than a couple spit axles out the side at the track.. they were 7.50ish cars in the 1/8. naturally aspirated.. on street slicks.

I smoked a mustang gt running just a LT4 hotcam kit and that doesn't add much of anything but a lope! **** a mustang, jesus this is a camaro site from the time I've been on here. A mustang is damn near the cheapest car you can build for racing and there is a reason it's cheap, ****'em

You're a ******* idiot. 275 or 285 WAS high-powered in the mid-nineties. AND pigs(?), they weren't any heavier than your precious mustangs of the same years. And those mustangs got so popular with their awesome 215 HP? No, they were popular because they were REALLY cheap and those buying them at the time didn't care about going slow. To catch an F-body in the mid 90s a buyer had to pony up another 10 grand to buy a high-powered 305 HP Cobra.

TAKE YOUR SOUR ATTITUDE ELSEWHERE!

I know, why the **** would you come onto a camaro sight and talk **** and ecspecially when your comparing it to a peice of **** mustang. Don't they have mustang forums you can hype your junk up on! Besides I don't think I was here asking questions about a mustang and camaro debate **** head!

To much to read, I read like 4 pages and i got to add moser axles...Got that! I found a post some time ago and it talked about the strongest 10 bolt made, and it consisted of welding in some adjustable bars that connected the TA girdle or an off brand cover to the axle tubes. Has anyone seen this or done this. Pics would be great, thanks Steve

brucer

ive done it. used a ta girdle.. there are 2 tierods with hiemjoints on each end, one end connects to the girdle the other to 2 tabs welded onto the axletubes..

alot of your strength comes from your gears also,seems like the 3.73 gears are stronger than the 4.10's because of the tooth count.. also when you set the rearend up use a solid crush sleeve not a regular crush sleeve..

brucer

you should also be able to find a stud kit for the rearend..

Alright see this is abetter info, not an a battle between ford and chevy! Thanks, this is what I'm talking about just would liek to find that article where it shows all the pics of this done on the 10 bolt.

brucer

i'm not a ford guy.
just never understood why Chevrolet put those crappy rear-ends in cars that have so much potential.. they should have used the 8.5 for the whole platform..

I agree^^ with that. I did put a rear in this car since its gonna be pretty fast, but had hundreds of passes in my old M6 and the rear end was the only thing that survived. Only had a 3.73 and TA girdle. Plus it was my DD and got the snot beat out of it everytime I drove it.

So it seems like you follow what I'm saying as well. They are decent I'm sure to a point. **** it I'm going to spray 150 shot on the bitch and see what happens, it should be close to 600 ponies but if it breaks then the wife can't bitch at me for needing a new one. At this point I couldn't even think about affording a new one until taxes and then we are supposed to be taking to a vacation down to south Padra Island.
As for Brucer it seems like you where pretty gun hoe towards mustangs and where ******* on f-bodies and that isn't the case on this site. There is alot of insite on the forum and that's why I enjoy getting on, not to hear people dog on people's car's. I understand completly that our rear ends might not have been the smartest choice but I haven't had issues with mine but the leak. Although my **** has 175K on the body and it still looks better than most folks car's that I know and it's original paint but the hood! I like to take care of my **** and that's why I'm fixing the leaks now! Plus it would be best not to have a leaking *** car on the drag strip this spring, lol!

every car has it's weakest links, but I bet ya GM didn't put in a better rear end cuz bigger/badder ones often rob horsepower, and then they couldn't claim as much. Plus, GM didn't design these cars with people like all of us in mind, for the stock platform, they where more than adequate, and when treated properly, the 10 bolts can last decades.

just because chevy's 7.5 rear end isn't good enough for yur 11 second car that you drop the clutch at 4 grand and pull up the front tires doesn't make chevy retarded.

It's not the best design for guys like us, but don't be doggin on GM cuz yur car isn't up to race car specs off the showroom floor.

That's funny **** ,thanks I needed that today! Just want to get my car on the track with out leaks and add a few things here and there as I go. It's came a long way since the day I got it when I was 16. Who new that I would be pulling my first motor when I was 24 out of my car and making it a forged 355 and adding a bunch of bad *** supoorting mods all the way around! It's coming along and as most would figure the military isn't the best paying job all though I love what I do! So this is a **** the mustangs, lol! Know if i was to own one it would be a 2003 Cobra, my buddy has one and it is a pretty bad *** supercharged mustang in consideration now he has about $11K into it, I guess that's what you pay for 700 hp but in the end it's still a mustang

Dude, seriously? That's the ******* post I just linked you to!

suicidal racing

iTrader: (14)

if people are paying 2800$ for a rear end there ******* retards..they better have fully gun drilled axles with star flanges an are 40 spline and a full floater deal..

you can do a 9" for 1500$ and this is how
get a housing and axle package from burkhart chassis or quick performance $950-1000
buy a ring an pinion package $325
pull a ford center section from the junk yard 50$
mini spool 40$

your done.you could also just look on racing junk for a completely used center section..dont forget you can turn around and sale your 10 bolt and get money back also

I paid $2225 new for my Moser Housing/Axles with Strange Center Section assembled with a Tru Trac..I guess I'm a retard..lol
