Guest tbutera2112 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 not saying its junk...just telling you that if you go to a big stang site and check out how well people do with 28 spline 8.8s, you will see 400rwhp being about the point where the axles break...dont get so defensive.... i broke a stock carrier *just like you have* with like 230rwhp... just telling you from personal experience, and from what ive been seeing on mustang sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 So are people saying the Ford units are junk as compared to my 10-bolt? I've been running my stock 28 spline axles now for seven years running in the 1.6x 60' range. not with axles and a spool. im still not seeing how the splines even line up! granted they are both 31, but still. this kind of fab, just buy a ford housing and the strange housing ends that fit gm brakes(not sure if they make those but they make them for the 8.8 brakes) i thought you told me all this was 31 spline? and you still have to make a torque arm bracket. and i dont see any 4 link brackets on that housing other then the stock stangs one on top.

I've been running my stock 28 spline axles now for seven years running in the 1.6x 60' range. make sure you never let it spin just one tire. Just upgrade to a auburn posi and 31 spline axels while it is out of the car. edit: might want to run c clip elims also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 614Streets Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 So are people saying the Ford units are junk as compared to my 10-bolt? I've been running my stock 28 spline axles now for seven years running in the 1.6x 60' range. I wouldn't sweat the 31 splines right away , I will be running my corporate 8.5 with 28 spline mosers and a detroit locker on the t brake and my converters are custom built 4000 and 5000 units. I also read about dave henniger running 8's on a 10 bolt , he did have alot of splines but if you stage the car with the foot brake lightly before you engage the t brake you avoid bigger shock the the ring and pinion and the splines. Think about it. Thats what he says to do. This guy has been proving his techniques on the corporate 10 bolt since the 90's. Definately check this out. In the 90's he was running high eights on the 10 bolt with little other than welded tubes to housing and +spline counts. http://powertvonline.com/video_detail.php?mId=442 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I daily my S10 with one and my Camaro has one, aside from steering with the throttle when it's wet but I doubt the Formula will see much rain.

MrMeanGreen Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 JP, the car goes low 10.80s all day now that it's dialed in, and that was on 1.7x 60'. I have a ton of slips from last year, but now wanna focus on traction. I'd like to see consistent 10.50s this year. Rob, I thought they were 31 spline, but was wrong. 28 spline is stock.

Oh hell no its not the 7.5 , its the 8.5 , hell the 7.5 came with 26 splines for awhile and then its cousin is the 7.625. But nah I was talking of the 8.5 Corporate.
