It is narrow but works well. It is a private drive to the shop that allows slightly more than 1/8mile for accel (more with good brakes) then a little more than 1/8mile for decel. There is no prep on the roadway as it is multi purpous, but also no police with sneeky radar guns as it is private owned. Works well for tuning.

This is good to see.... Welcome and thanks for being a sponsor.
Sorry if any of my post might have sounded bad.. You can see why people are so skeptical with Craigslist and the scams that go's along with them.

Hope your company the best and look forward to seeing some of your LS1 builds.

That was a cust car at the meet. It actually has one of our 9" rear ends in it. Ask him any time to see it he is a nice guy. No problem with the CL post, i have been caught on the bad side of a couple of scams so i see where you are coming from. CL gets phone calls and a little work for no charge to list. Thank you for clearing the air on the matter. I appreciate the honesty no matter the case.

No problem .. Now its time to make sure you take lot of photos of the customer cars. Then post them up like the other so we can see your bad *** builds.

Again best of luck with the new shop.

Cool logo BTW.

why you would use this rear when you can get a FAB 9 inch housing with a tq arm and ds loop for 2650 from midwest...i mean a torque arms around 479 driveshaft loops 100, and you get a fab housing thats considerably lighter for less

It looks like a very nice rear end, also a good deal. We have not installed them so i cant say anything on quality but it looks good. Our rearend with the same components including a spohn tq arm and driveshaft loop included, assembled and ready to install is $2550. I do know we have had no issues so i would give that as reason. Thank you for the inquiry on reasoning.

Will be ordering a shortblock from them this week, Kyle has been very patient with me throght he proccess as I have had some bad luck with builds in the past .

I will be doing a full write up in the hybrids section I may go into the quality of the shortblock if warrented good or bad. I have talked to a few of his customers and they are all very happy with there work.

Jmac tried to buy one took over 4 months.. I want to say at the 5 month mark he just asked for his money back which they gave it back to him.

I'm in the market to buy one right now...If MWC could promise me I would have it in less then a two month I would buy it.


But looks like Im going to be going with Mosers 9.
