I forget who makes it, but you can get a 33 spline posi unit and axles. I beleive it is Eaton that makes it.
My friend has been running one in his 9 sec. turbo car for like the last 5 years. Not a regular at the track, but plenty of playing around w/ M/T 275/ 60 DR's

Yea Greg, the housing i got is out of a 88. I've looked in to the trak-loc 33 spline diff, and the 31 spline Torsen in much stronger. Im worried about the axles, going to call Moser and Strange tomorrow and see what thier power rateings are, and what they recommend. I know i can use the brakes off the IRS with Bullit/Mach1 backing plates and caliper brackets..

I'll post up what i find out tomorrow..

Track lock 33s cause the spider gears to be too thin. And honestly, 31s arent enough in my opinion past 600hp.

I use an 8.8 in my car with the same setup as Alex Vrettos drag radial car that has been 7.0s at 3600lbs as well as Dwayne Gutridges car. I'm pretty confident that it will hold anything you can throw at it.

9" housing ends, Braced, TA cover, welded, Narrowed, 35 spline mosers, spool...never look back. Spools really arent that bad on the street.

Only bad thing about a Torsen is if it breaks, its usually garbage (i.e. not rebuildable)

Talked with Moser, they have a custom alloy 31spline axle good to 900ft tq, and a 10 year warranty. Have to run c-clip elms tho, star flanged and gun-drilled, 3inch studs = around $700 +shipping..

i hear c clips elims leak if you use the car as a road driven vehicle. but if its a drag car go for it

from a guy on theturboforums. another guy also totaled his car with moser's that were less than a year old. i have a 8.8 in my car, narrowed for the minitub, 9'' ends, braced and a girdle. 33 spine w/spool all strange guts in it. im not worried one bit about it. 9'' sucks up extra power too

my FIRST weekend with my new moser axles. (after several years on my stockers with the SAME combo) i vowed to post one of these pictures every time someone asks this question till the day i die after i got off the phone with the rudest customer service rep ever.
