Foose has made countless hits on his 10bolt, I don't understand how his lives yet others blow them up with half the power.

What are recommended axles. Moser seems to be junk and also read a lot of negative for Moser. I'm not gonna bother checking to see if my stock ones bent now too.

I have a fabricated 9" housing from Racecraft. All the internals and brakes are Strange. Pro Gear, 40 spline spool/axles...etc. Expensive but bullet proof.

I've got two of those center sections. One is a 3.90 gear and the other is a 4.11. All passes except the last time to the track was with the 3.90 center. I threw the 4.11 center in as engine builder wanted more trap rpm............never make a clean pass with it though.

I've awed over your rear axle on more than one occasion in your build thread. I like how you do things. Clean and right the first time out. Explains the results.
