    Operation 9"

    After 6 longs years of crossing my fingers at the drag strip, I should finally be able to relax.. Step 1 complete, 10 bolt gone..

        Well, gone, as in out of car. Sitting against the wall for now. Once my 9" is done at the shop I need to swap a few things over.. Then decide if I want to sell the 10 bolt as a whole or part it out.. Needs gone through for sure.. Howls like a screaming banshee!!

              Wait for what? I was going to do it Saturday, but got a bug up my ass and did it early.. Hoping my 9" is done Saturday.. They are still waiting on the bearing housing to finish it up. Everything else is done. They ordered it from Strange a week ago..

              It launched pretty good last year 1.50 60' wheels up. Now I shouldn't have to cringe every pass and hope it holds.. Probably have to dial the suspension in again after the swap.. Hopefully I can get it close and fine tune at the track.

                Lots of "hope" in those statements....ever read the book "Hope is NOT a Strategy" ?

                  Is there any other strategy with a 10 bolt?? Looks like he had it pretty refined with those 1.5 60s

                      The piece of mind a 9" gives is worth every penny. Good job Larry!

                        I would love to know the weight difference if you can actually verify both. Congrats!

                          Thanks to the 285's I bought off of you I shouldn't have problems with my 10-bolt. Things break loose like I'm on ice.

                          Edit: still crossing my fingers.................

                            I don't have any way of weighing them. But after moving the 10 bolt around today, by myself, I don't think the 2 are that much different in weight.
