i need a rearend that will hold up against at least about 400 hp, i was thinking about keeping my 9 bolt housing, and getting a heavyer duty set of gear's probably 3.42's and also what about my axle's? will they hold up or should i get new one's???
Thanks -Don

P.S. where can i get good set of axle's w/o paying an arm and a leg???

 

A 9 bolt should hold 400hp. Some guys run more than that through them on the strip. Check with www.moserengineering.com for axles.

 

thanks for the reply, if anyone is running with close to or over 400 hp on a stock rear or stock rear housing that is a 9 or 10 bolt it would be nice to hear about it Thanks -Don

 

I've been running my completely stock 9 bolt for over 3 years behind my big block (500hp/520lbft) with no problems. I 60ft in the 1.72-1.75 range. I orginally was running a 3.27 gear, but recently went to a 3.73. I am currently in the middle of installing a 4.10 gear with a mini spool in my spare 9 bolt for the track. More information on my setup and on 9 bolt parts is on my page at www.9bolt.com

I run factory axles, but am going with a set of Moser axles on the mini spool rear end.
