[QUOTE="xXSnakeBiteXx, post: 13303022, member: 67036"] For what its worth I do all my runs on the street only time my car has been at the track is when it was bone stock. My Oem housing with 3:73 gears and lpw cover held its own for a while but I ended up with this.(wheel hop induced) [ATTACH=full]488855[/ATTACH] I then sourced a 96-97 cant remember what year t bird housing, stock diff, Arp studded caps, 3:73 gear, Timkin bearings, solid pinion spacer, and lpw cover. [ATTACH=full]488856[/ATTACH] That held up well for 4500 miles. I was running a twin turbo'd z at our local spot launched hard slammed 2nd ran out of rubber and let my wheel speed get ahead of me, peddled hooked again and stayed in it. Thats the run that cost me. I had a nasty howl from the diff on the way home so out it came. [ATTACH=full]488857[/ATTACH] Needless to say parts had been moving around, I bolted the caps down and went at the bores with a snap gauge and they were distorted quite a bit. I then bolted in the cylinder that is used for setting proper pinion depth and could actually move it up and down a few thousandths, That made me scratch my head. [ATTACH=full]488858[/ATTACH] I'm back with aluminum now, Eaton tru trac, Arp studded MW caps, Timken bearings. solid pinion spacer, and FRPP cover. I never bothered to stud the cover because in all my experience I've never had a fluid leak from my cover, that said it sure as hell wont hurt. [ATTACH=full]488859[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
