WHEW!! thats intense!!




yea, moser (and most of the other companies listed above) allow me to choose which size studs I want. diameter and length.

mosers options:
STUD TYPE:
7/16 x 20 -x1 1/4" (.480" Knurl)
7/16" x 20 x 2 7/8" (.480" Knurl)
12mm x 1 1/2" (.505" Knurl)
12mm x 2 1/2" (.505" Knurl)
1/2" x 20 x 1 1/2" (.620" Knurl)
1/2" x 20 x 3" (.620" Knurl)
1/2" x 20 x 2" (Screw-In)
1/2" x 20 x 3" (Screw-In)
5/8" x 18 x 2" (Screw-In) (Add $65.00)
5/8" x 18 x 3" (Screw-In) (Add $65.00)
7/16" x 20 x 1 3/4" (.480" Knurl/ Disc Brake Stud)
1/2" x 20 x 1 3/4" (.620 Knurl/Disc Brake Stud)
14mm x 1 11/16" (.620" Knurl)

--so I will just have to take a few minutes out to determine which length will be best for me, ensuring that they are long enough to pass tech at island dragway etc. will go with the 1/2" diameter too.. unless i should just go total overkill and get 5/8" ??! . i will eventually get a second set of wheels to mount slicks onto, so I want to make sure the studs are up to the task of a hard launch, and hopefully some wheels up action.

I currently run 3.73 rear ratio, and I'm happy with it, but I have no idea what the real world power chart of the next engine will put me at when coupled with the 700R4 and whatever height tires I end up with. I am probably deciding between a 3.55 or a 3.73 final ratio.

i reached out to the brake guy, but haven't heard back yet. If he says those brackets are what I need that will be great.. I am still unsure about the 2.5" offset moser recommends, vs the 2.75" offset that the brackets are advertised as giving


I will be going with the tapered bearing setup as was suggested to me by several guru's on thirdgen.org .. since my car will be doing more than just straight line racing the tapered bearings are highly recommended


thanks for the input fellas, keep it coming !
