I like the idea of the 35 spline axles and spool. Advantage is the cost of the housing. Disadvantage is the selection of gears. I've seen up to 5:57's, this would be more than you'd need in a stocker motor that likely will never exceed 7000 rpm.

What kind of times you turn with your H/CM car? You running the 330 HP crate motor?
LPW, Mosier or Strange make the cover. Gear selection is alright I guess. I turn my crate motor 7100 on a good day with 4.88's and 30-9 Radials. Its the 330hp motor. I run H and the index is 12.00. I have run 11.35 with no tricks. I have a 12 bolt in the Camaro and an 8.5 10 bolt in my station wagon. I drive the wagon on the street but its legal for I/CM.Its my backup...haha. It will run 11.80's...still under the index and will still qualify in street trim. Vortec motors are great!!!
