Well guys the carrier is shot so I am shopping now for either a 9" or a S60. I have ruled out 12 bolts all together.

The Strange Engineering S60 is much heaver 50+lbs, but honestly there is no better place to have more weight then right there. I mean you cant add weight any place better, and I can make up for the extra weight somewhere else. The have a much larger ring gear and are rated to 1200rwhp. Almost twice what me long term goal hp would be.

The Moser 9" however is used by everyone including the big gun racers. So finding parts and people to work on them would be 100 times easier and cost effective. Not to mention there are more people with "one of those laying around". They will also be able to hold my target rwhp. The down side is they have more parasitic loss then 10, and 12 bolts, and even the S60.

Now my mechanic tells me Moser is better then Strange in his opinion as he has never seen a Moser bust and they are America's oldest axle manufacture (used to make train axles) he has seen some of the Strange Engineering stuff break. I haven't though, but he has been at it much much much longer then I have.

So I'm looking at the Strange Engineering S60, and Moser 9". I would love to hear some experience you guys with Strange 9" have had, as they are much more complete then the Moser's.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I now have a slightly used (2K miles) Summit Stud Girdle, (new in box) 3.73 ring and pinion, USED axles, and a 10 bolt housing, and (new in box) complete install kit I'm not gonna be using. Eric has my DRs and is gonna hold onto them as long as he wants so if any of you wanna borrow them let me know.

Kev, I have been reading this, but haven't had time to post about it yet. I hope everything works out for you. It's sucks that the car is down, but when you get her back on the road, it sounds like it is going to be worth it. Good luck with it and let me know if there is anything I can help you on.

I did research for the better part of the night last night, and I am sold on Moser's 9". Celeste I have a lot on my plate, with my car being down, selling parts, my wife being sick taking care of my daughter on my own etc...so getting your artwork done is gonna take longer then expected.

no fear doll. I totally understand.

The show got moved to Oct 21. Take all the time you need. I am going to dream up a few temp. ones so I can get them sent to Summit, jegs, places like that.

I have faith in you. I know that you will be able to make it through all this. If you ever need to talk to some one. Let me know...I will always be there to lend an ear!
