Now, I see all the posts here about racing. Man!!! Gets me itching I always said I wont race this pathetic nova. But just for fun Id love to track it just to see. For my own enjoyment. I know it wont even come close to the camaros that are around here But.... I have a feeling it would be a lil surprising. Why are all the tracks so far away JR

I only got Frank by 32 seconds in his 2010 SS on the road course at RTTC. (I've took shorter naps)I'm sure that 9 inch parasitic drain will only take him back to 33 seconds or so. I can't wait for this response!

i have the 33 spline moser12 bolt, and it is a stout piece.. fro me the decider was the lower paracitic drag of the 12 bolt.. it might just be 4% difference but at 500 rwhp thats 20 free rwhp.... I ordered the housing ends as big ford.. so thats one c-clip arguement down the drain...

just be sure to get it with screw in studs, mine is press in and it was a bit of a biatch finding the right knurl for the longer studs

if you really want the option of fast diff chance i would go with a currie track 9 housing and a richmond alluminum 12 bolt ring and pinion / 9 inch drop out centersection.. but when was the last time you changed diff at the track? (and if you actually need to do that often.. then you should propably get a champ car quick change)

So would this be the best of both worlds? Axle housing you can weld on, big bearings, no c-clip and 12-bolt center-section. How do the aluminum center sections hold up?

There's nothing like seeing the look on someone's face though when they see the fabricated 9" housing though. They are so cool looking.

I am in the process of building a 64 GTO. Plans are to use a LS3 / 480 hp should be more with a few other bolt on goodies. I am thinking about going with the TKO 600 transmission. The car will be use mainly for spirited driving and maybe a road course or two!

I was looking at the Currie Ultimate Track 9 rear end, but it sounds like the 12 bolt maybe the way to go? I tried to configure the 12 bolt at Moser website but did not know if I was looking at the correct rear end. Are there any recommendations on vendors that I should talk to more? I also need to determine the best gear set for what I am trying to accomplish, any recommendation in this area?

I have talk with Mark over at SC&C vaguely about the rear end when I recently purchased my front suspension components. His vote was the Currie Ultimate Track 9, to get away from the C Clip issue (but this sounds resolved when going with Ford 9" axle tubes on the 12" rear end).



Thanks in Advance, Chris
