A friend of mine is curious.. how many of the bow tie boys are runnin 12 bolts these days? what kinda gear setup would be best for his 02 ss? Right now hes stock, but soon gunna have full bullit bottem end with 16lb procharger... if that helps?

any info/advice is appreciated thanks.

 

auto or stick?

 

6spd.. sorry forgot to mention that

 

If you have a decent amount of hp, and sticky tires on the back, you will more than likely need a 12-bolt soon. I am pretty sure once your friend starts modding, he will have plenty hp. With the M6, if you get on the gas too hard off of a stop, you might break the stock rear end. The best thing to do is, start modding it, and if you break the rear end, get a new 12-bolt.

 

Thank you Capt Obvious.

The Strang 12bolt gives you the most bang for the buck. It will be about $300-$400 cheaper thant the Moser 12bolt. There are several guys in the area that run 12bolts but Al(Hybridss) has been running is stocker for the longest and just buying replacement carriers for $99 and replacing them gearset and all.

 

His car must be pretty weak to still be runnin on the stock rear...
So strange 12 bolt, rather than Moser? hmm good input thanks
Any other imput/comment welcome

 

yeah, 707/721 is for pansies I tell you!
