if my ten bolt blows up im getting another ten bolt.

 

No kidding, you guys act like the 12 bolts don't blow up, when there is probably more 12 bolts being blown up then there are 10 bolts in our cars & I repeat, in OUR CARS, I don't want history of the horrible 10 bolts. Just saying, 12 bolts blow up too lol.

Look at Rybar, he wined about his 10 bolt blowing up, got a 12 bolt & it went south LOL. Most people have other issues perhaps, maybe bent torque arm or something & they immidiately call the 10 bolt a piece.

But like stated, when mine blows I'll rebuild it, because quite frankly I've put about 4k miles of HARD 400RWHP pounding & powershifting on this thing on the street & it doesn't even wine, so its all about how you set it up aswell.


So a 10 bolt is all you need on street tires, but blows up with a combination of traction & M6 tranny, the 12 bolt blows up with that combination aswell & is overkill for street tires, so its either 9" or nothing, I'm sorry but I don't want to haul something that will eat 6% of my Horsepower around town just so I can put on some slicks 1 mission event & launch breaking something else if not the rear, plus did I mention incorrect DS alignment issues with 9"? Yeah not to great for driving around town for your output shaft on tranny either.

Than lets go into all rear ends in general, you want to go fast? So you have to ditch the POSI unit now, or put heavy A$$ springs in it, now you have yourself a car that wants to spin both wheels around a corner, you've just ruined your car bud.

 

Nice numbers bunker.

And I get hassle when I ran 12.5 @ 122 street tires

I can wait to run this year with the new set-up!
You were at the dyno when I showed up at SNK's?

I heard of your run

Duane

Mid 12's should be no problem with even street tires

 

Yeah I was

 

Bunker, the 10-bolt will hold on, but it's only a matter of time before it goes. I ran a set of GM 3.73's in my 10-bolt for about 4 seasons pounding 400 + rwhp to it. Then one day it went, and it was a roller coaster ride after that. 3 sets of new gears later I decided it had to go. The problem with my Strange 12-bolt was a retainer clip in the posi unit broke, dis-lodged and the metal shavings ruined all my bearings/clutch packs etc. The gears, posi, and axles are all fine.

I never did feel an ounce of hp loss going from 10-bolt to 12-bolt. I think it's pretty good insurance to have on a car with the power yours has. Heck I blew up my stock 10-bolt twice even before I installed the blower, the car back then had 300 rwhp. I don't know much about the nine inch, but I'd say it would be worth it, even if you lose a few hp from it.

Good luck on that 10-bolt.

 

Hi,

I ran a 13.3 on my first trip out to mission. It was great. Except for some newbie mistakes at the start line. I wonder how fast I could have run without the weight of the rollcage?

 

just for the record were talking 7.5" 10 bolt, 8.5" 10 bolt is a different story.

oh and whats wrong with spools, big rearends and power robbing drivetrain? lol solution: make more power and go faster

 

race car is one thing, daily driving is another. you cant have both in one car.

 

Daily Driver...

 

Thats why you have to own several cars. In all reality boys i use to want what you guys want however you will soon realize that in time there is only one way to go. Once you hit that point you will understand what i am saying.
Later

The guy that has a drag car that will cruise the streets once in a while. It may corner like **** but it will sure fishtail pretty
