The hole in the Ozone layer was all a conspiracy. The government made it up so that the economy will get better by selling you more crap to put on your cars.

j/k

You're still missing my point. I've had my M6 w/ 4.10s for 2 years & had no problems...It's all driving habits. BTW, you still haven't answered my question as to whether you mic'ed your spacer. I'm guessing no?

BTW, funny about the IQ part... think what you want...I'm not the one who went through the trouble to make a poll about this argument...

Would a girdle help at all?

It WILL break and I don't want him to have his car sitting more than it's running like I did.

Oh yeah, I remember taking a college course on that long ago..."if someone insults you, they have a low IQ". You're stupid. You're getting all huffy-puffy when I agreed with your opinion that a 12-bolt is needed, but I believe 10-bolts can be built right...not to last forever, but plenty long enough. Mine's going on 2 years with just a girdle. You apparently don't think so. You still haven't answered my question on mic'ing the solid spacer. I'm guessing you didn't, which is likely why it blew up on you.

BTW, it's FEUD, not "FUDE", Einstein...

thats a pretty ignorant statement.

using an insult has absolutely no correllation to IQ whatsoever.

feud.




btw........i do think a 12 bolt is necessary if you are making good power...........however i would buy the heads/cam first, then get a rear afterwards.........atleast you can have fun with the heads/cam until you break the stock rear.

Lemme guess...you guys have never made a typo? It's not a spelling mistake....but live it flamers. I did delete my posts about rearend stability and the responses I never should have made.

BTW....it was immature of me to respond the way I did even though you insulted me via name calling. I in fact did stoop to the same level of name calling by even responding to your post.

Actually, no. It's called "an educated vocabulary". Also it's what many like to call "proofreading before you post". Helps you not to look like you're unintelligent.

well, what are these people doing to their 10-bolts to run 10's on them??? I've got a rear end girdle/support cover and will be installing a solid pinion spacer next weekend with a fresh set of 4.10s. Here's the claim on the spacer from Thunder Racing:

"Ratech also manufacturs solid pinion bearing spacers, or "crush collars." These are excellent for cars that "shock" their rear ends extremely hard during launching, which is common with manual transmissions. The solid pinion spacer will allow your rear end setup to remain constant after repeated hard launches."

With the structural integrity of the housing increased, and therefore reducing flex, and the crush sleeve replaced by a solid spacer, that the only base not covered in a strong 10-bolt would be the axles...am I wrong? Any fast f-bodies out there with both mods and experiences on this type of setup? If there isn't, there will be one soon...
i have yet to see a 10 sec 6spd 10 bolt f-body...

i havn't seen too many 11 or deep 12's either

get the 12 bolt- work on power later. at least you can sell the rear you have now...

when u break it- its worthless

How much could I get for the rear? Also if I buy the 12 bolt how much would it be total with installation? Are there any good places online to get them?

It took us 6 hours....but 3.5 of that was installing the u-joint. Installation is simple too....not much to it at all. Checkout Tbyrne too.

I was running mid-12's before my head/cam swap on an M6 w/ slicks. With my heads & cam, I should be in the 11's. I know you said "haven't seen too many", but I just thought I'd chime in. I prefer (and center my driving) around road racing, and not straight-line racing anyways. If I wanted straight-line, I would have opted for the XE 230/236 instead of the XE 224/230. Not everyone is fixated on purely dead-stop, straight-line acceleration...
