Who's running the SLP take-off diff with Moser 28 spline axles?

Friday I'm ordering this stuff and wanted to know who else is running it. Once I get my trans and engine straightened out, I'll be somewhere in/near the low 13s. I don't see this power level causing many problems to the diff, but I wanted to get other people's ideas.

I can't pour money into a 9" until I get a 6 speed and more engine upgrades, and I think a beefed-up 10 bolt should do fine until I get those engine upgrades.

While I'm in there, is there any other stuff I should replace for the sake of strength?

Weld the axle tubes to the center of the rear and run a solid pinion spacer from http://www.ratechmfg.com .This should make a pretty strong rear to get you into 13's easily.

Torsen/Mosers

I've got the SLP Heavy Duty Torsen diff with Mosers in my 92 now. I've also just received the Mosers for the '00 SS 4th gen rear I'm now building up for the Z (to get rid of the spacers since I'm running 17x9 SS rims)

The only problem I had with the 1st set of Mosers is that they weren't finished to the right length, so the "paddle" of the Torsen wouldn't slide in. Had to machine the length down. Then I discovered that the outside diameter of the axles was too big and wouldn't fit the groove in the sides of the paddle. Once this was resolved, no problems.

This time around, I knew what measurments to look for, so I've checked already.

By the way, I do have the oem Torsen in my wife's 96 T/A wRam Air.
