oh thats good to know.... i have the red :shock:

[Jersey_TA]

I used the red stuff and have had no problems taking them off. 8)

Ofcourse you're not going to be able to take them off with a 1/4 drive or anything lol(just an example)

[NJSPEEDER]

one thing you shoudl do is upgrade to new grade8 bolts and nuts. you can set them to a higher torque level which will help prevent them loosening.

[Silent Z]

Did you guys buy them both new? If so how much do they run?

[j0n]

Texas-speed is running a special iirc for ~$2000 + shipping

Different 10 bolts.

His is a 7.5, yours (if you mean the 2nd gen) is a 8.5. Properly built the 8.5 is pretty good. Kurt Urban runs one and he is in the low 9's,

thank you for the info, what kind of loctite would you guys recommend us using on our bolts?

i got mine used from a older gentleman in upstate NY, it has about 1k miles on it and comes with a steel, and aluminum driveshaft each with the correct yoke for 1900.

Welcome to the 12 bolt world finally Ron!

JW :D

[98tadriver]

ran into some problems with the install, but should have it done this tuesday fo sho

I paid 2000 for mine, i think, plus im getting a LPE HD aluminum DS with it!

i think im gonna use red loctite on it and see where that gets me. if it becomes loose after that, safety wire ftmfw!

well.. I am lookin to test the limits....

The car is being built to run the 8.50 index at atco... I should with the proper tune be capable of well lets just say a lil bit more if it hooks... and I don't kick this rear clean out the back of her..........

Two or Three Hits of nitrous I haven't decided yet... all depends on the pckets.:drive: :drive:

Newest underside I got today... Car should be done this week.. and its time to put the pieces back together......

[Savage_Messiah]

Why not 4.10s??

[bubba428]

i think this one should make it past the nitrous.....

[BonzoHansen]

I don’t remember the exact mounting setup, so this advice may be no good, but if those are bolts & nuts, do GR8 bolts and nuts – and use the nuts with the nylon lock ring in them.

i believe ron was hitting rev limiter (i think he raised it from stock) in 4th just before crossing the traps when he was running 4.10s...

no way... in 4th gear with 4.10s and 26" tires you will be going 123mph at 6500rpm. there is no way ron is trapping that high with bolt-ons. (no offense ron)

ok...

i know its something along those lines...dont remember exactly.

This is true. I had typed up a reply saying something like "Keep in mind that Ron has a strong future in stress testing auto parts" but I forgot to submit it.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't run the car much past 6k(~113mph)

[FAST Z]

358sbc 10/1 comp world sportsmanII Heads with turbo 350 4:10 gears and a 26x10.5 tire I went 12.54 at 114.... Screaming it through the traps.... AT 6500.... the car fell on its face after 6200 and was dead at the 1000' mark....

i'm going with a cam so i will be turning my motor to 6800. i forgot that he was bolt on. but even so, i turned my bolt on motor slightly past 6k to keep it in the powerband

none taken, rev limiter was stock at the time, w/ 4.11 gears and i topped out at 113mph. I saw that in person when i drove it. and this site www.f-body.org/gears FTW

plus i have some plans for it this year that will help me trap at least 120 i would think. 3.73s @ 6k with 26" tires = 123mph if i remmber correctly.

Now, next year, my powerband will be a bit higher in the rpms, so 4.10s will be better suited for me.
