All this 10 Bolt talk makes me wonder what the Borg will handle

[ezysk]

Anyone know what Torque the 9 Bolt Borg will handle stock?

Plus, besides lack of gear choices anyone know its weak points are?

Can you elaborate?

I hear the over and over again that the 9 Bolt is supposed to be stronger than the 10, but it would be interesting to know how much stronger.

I have heard that it is slightly stronger but it's still a POS because it's tiny.

Then why was it the rear of choice for the L98..

I guess they both "suck", but whatever. I've had no problems with mine.

Ok, I am looking for something more specific than "slightly stronger", guessing you don't know exact numbers then.

So what are you running in your car James?

And what would you suggest, for those that don't have subsidized income?

Well then do some research on a more tech oriented site like TGO. I was simply saying that I have heard they are a little stronger. But in the long run, I don't think you will find "numbers or figures" too many variables in the equation.

BTW....I don't have a "sudsidized" income, I work my ass off for what I have....I don't get handouts from ANYONE thankyou.

a 9 bolt is marginally stronger. Similar to a dana 44 but about 80% as strong. not a 8.5 not a 12 bolt not a 8.8 but somewhere in between. I highly recomend staying away from the rear end given its getting so hard to find parts for it.

Ditto what Sean said. It does have the advantage in that it bolts the axles in at the flanges, so it wont spit an axle on you. However it's still a small ring gear, it was made in Australia, parts are expensive, and hard to find. Ratio choice is also small. It's sort of like attempting to install a ZF six-speed in your car from a late-eighties Corvette: It'll work but cost you.
