Those 9inchs are heavy should have got you a Fabbed 9inch instead. They weigh the same as a stock 10-bolt.
Just ordered mine about 2 weeks ago.

the_merv Jun 23, 2008 07:36 PM

I can afford some extra weight..it does help if it's over the Tires..

daniel6718 Jun 23, 2008 07:50 PM

yea but its upsprung weight so its not as helpful....
shoulda done aluminum center...35 splines and 1.2 studs

you basically got a stock rear with a 9 inch ring and a better posi...thats heavier

the_merv Jun 23, 2008 11:55 PM

Not goin for competition..just a little fun and durability..:cool:

Dont believe everything you hear...a STOCK rear?... :gtfo:

Good choice on beefing up the rearend! :devil:

LM97Z Jun 24, 2008 01:33 AM

A stock 9" is much stronger all around then a stock 10 bolt i'd say, congrats on the new stuff, your makeing a good choice, sure lighter is better, but you'll be happy that 9" is there.

the_merv Jun 24, 2008 06:57 AM

Thanks guys. Looking forward to pullin some more wheelies..:drive:

I'm not really worried about the negative comments..I've known T/A KID for a while..he is a friend of someone I know, so he was just throwin his opinion out with his congrats basically.
Daniel is off in his own world where his shit don't stink, so I'm not too worried about it..

Keep in mind his Car probably came with a 9" from the GM Factory..you didn't hear about that one and only one car made in the world..?:eyes:

T/A KID Jun 24, 2008 10:32 AM

Yea Merv is a buddy, glad to see he has a rear to support that badass motor setup :devil:

Hot94Z28 Jun 24, 2008 10:55 AM

Sweet man. I am getting ready to put my S60 in. I can't wait to see some vids when you get it up and going.

daniel6718 Jun 24, 2008 10:58 AM

did you not pay any attention to the thread from i think it was roadtrip...from the ltx shootout...31 splines? are you serius he trashed his on motor with a lt1...31 splines are terribly weak! and 12mm studs are stock...shoulda at least done 1/2
like i said...you got some junk axles, need at least 33 maybe 35 thats what i woulda done...
im simply trying to help you out...although you do have the baddest ls1 on this site with your big bad stroker...

Stroked96Bowtie Jun 24, 2008 11:05 AM

Put some stickies on the car merv once you're setup. Cant wait to see the 60s and launchs on your setup!

Good luck. :chug:

PS: Got 33s in mine, 1.63 60s on motor and no turned axles. Brady was only cutting 1.7xs when he turned his...which I thought was odd. :)

djjab57 Jun 24, 2008 11:11 AM

sounds like a good set-up and thanks for serving our great nation!!!

LS1Silverado05 Jun 24, 2008 11:36 AM

Well I had 35 splines in mine...so Im not saying that more wouldnt have been better. But to say he has a heavy stock rear is pushing it. 31s are not THAT weak... the guy that broke them on a 1.7x?? There is more to that story Im sure, could of been a flaw in them or something. I do however HIGHLY agree that bigger and longer wheel studs be used. Its worth it. :nod:

Good one, and you do have some points as stated. But seriously, it's hard to take your expertise seriously with an avatar like yours. :nod: This is in jest of coarse, since I'm just a lowly LT1.

daniel6718 Jun 24, 2008 11:55 AM

lol...well ive been 1.4 60' on a stock rear with a welded posi...it can be done...but if your spending the money for a 9 inch why do the smallest axles you can...
like i said with those axles its not much stronger than stock...his car on motor will prolly never have an issue with them...just sayin...if you put it in a rear car its basically a heavy stock rear, only the ring gear and posi are better....the axles are goana break...

just lie when he put his motor together for NA...i was sayin dont put heavy forged stuff in there...needed to put lightweight stuff it woula mode more power and been faster, honestly i dont understand when it only traps 96 in the 1/8

the_merv Jun 24, 2008 11:56 PM

Dude you fail..quit posting. ;)

Woopdy doo I've gone as low as 1.61 several times in my 3600lb'er

edit: with my stock 10 bolt. Only 113k miles on it.

As an expert you should know that 28 spline is the "smallest" you can go, not 31.. :eyes:
