Default so who here has a 12bolt?

... and how do you think it does for AutoXing and Roadracing? I have a Moser with the Eaton posi... is this thing any good for this stuff? Would you say this is better or worse than the stock 10bolt? Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

I was looking at a 9" rear setup because of the weak style of differential for the 12 bolt (only 2 spider gears). The 9" uses 4 spider gears. I do not want a clutch type diff. because of the wear problems I might encounter. I am checking into the Gold Trac worm gear racing differential. It is only available for the 9" but according to the e-mail I recieved from Currie Enterprises, it is very similar to the Torsen. They said that it was the"premier high HP road race differential", it may just be marketing, but I think I will give it a try.

Yeah, that figures. It seems with a 9" you have quite a few more options than the 12bolt. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I just don't know how my Eaton posi will do for AutoXing and such.
