I've seen a few of the new ones under some pretty "nasty" 8 & 9 second cars

So where would you get one of these 12 bolts? Would it be a direct bolt-in, or what else would be required?

The new issue of Car Craft has a writeup on the 9" vs. 12 bolt vs. Dana 60. Check it out.

P.S. I've gone a 1.54 on my stock axle, stock gear, Eaton posi rear. I've probably got about a dozen 1.5x runs on it to date.

I'm confused, if it's complete less brakes for $2055, how can it cost $4,000 ???? A complete set of rear brakes with backing plates, etc. couldn't cost more that a hundred or so, NOT almost $1,945

You'll notice the CDN next to the dollar amount??? That stands for Canadian, as in Canadian dollars.

That is what it would cost Clayton by the time he figured in the exchange rate, taxes, brokerage, shipping and then the brake setup...

Guess I missed that. I saw USD referenced in the first sentance, and didn't figure it to change in the middle, sorry for the missunderstanding.
