Well after takling off the 315 Toyo TQs to put stock 16s on to do a few small brakestands with CobraFrenzy, a stud on my passenger side rear snapped. In my mind this is obvious justification for building a new rear over the winter. The current setup is a 31 spline out of an exploder.Trying to figure out exactly what I want to go with, I ruled out a 9inch setup after taking to several pros and they talked me out of it due to suspension geometry issues for a street car so I'm sticking 8.8. I am going to go with 31 spline mosers or Srange S/S axles anyone suggestions? Also would it be worth the extra cash to run Strange C-clip eliminators? (that would mean running the strange axles as well). As far as rear gear ratio goes I think I''m pretty set on 3.73s along with my centri but am open to opinions. My big debate is over the rear diffential. Should I just go with a FRPP 31 spline trac-lok with the carbon fiber clutches??? How much abuse/power/tire can these take because they seem the cheapest option. Other diffs I been looking at is the 8.8 spring loaded eaton unit on american muscle, a detroit true-trac posi, and also the question about running a full spool. I would like to hear someone that has spool expereince on a street car. Is the car dangerous around hard cornering with the spool? Is the driveability going to be THAT bad, etc etc. Let me hear what everyone thinks.

I remember Dimebag running a spool on his nitrous injected hooker....I don't think it ended up working out to well lol.

no, see dime ran a mini-spool. Not good. lol Ox ran a full spool on his white beast but then pulled it out i favor for an actual differential. But I believe he was also running a 33 spline setup. Might have been 31, i dont remember. But I would just go with the FRPP 31 spline carbon disc unit. Its rebuildable and holds up better due to the carbon clutch packs used.

Yea a buddy of mine runs a spool in his 12 bolt in his firehawk and its TERRIBLE in the corners...i don't reccomend it for a street car.
