Alright...you Mitchez think I should get an alky kit now and save a few bucks, not much...mainly plan to leave at current boost and add some timing. Kind of will give me a safety net too on 93 octane fluctuations. Ryan thinks it will pick up some good hp for sure...but I am more after it for the insurance on 93 octane. Also pondering just letting it ride as is, which is safe and fine, and putting money for broken parts to come at some point. I have a feeling coilovers are soon. I have a front strut leaking.

I'd save and get the coilovers as soon as you can, then get the alky next year if you still haven't got it yet.

I agree with Solomon. I would start diving into drivetrain and suspension.

Their stuff is just as strong and usually lighter.

You know it!
Big difference. I'll try to lay it all out.
  • We have a Lifetime warranty vs Their 1 year warranty
  • We use a Strange Pro-Iron pumpmkin
  • They use a Strange Street case (Strange doesnt recommend this for over 450 hp)
  • We use a Strange 35 Spline S-Trac
  • They use a smaller 31 and 33 spline TrueTrac or Wavetrac
  • We use a fully fabricated housing with cnc machined bearing blocks and 3/8" thick faceplates. We also use 3/8" thick brackets. We do all of this so that there is no deflection. Very important in an IRS rear.
  • They use a stock stamped housing with the ends cut off and bearing blocks welded to it.
  • All of our 9" kits come standard with huge 35 spline inner stubs.
  • They use smaller 31 or 33 spline stubs.
  • Our kit comes standard with our big 31 spline 1500hp Outlaw axles with our billet cnc machined cv stars. These are the biggest, strongest axles out for the 9" kits. We can even make a 33 and 35 spline version if needed.
  • They use a smaller 30 spline axle with smaller cv stars.
  • We use billet one piece outer stubs.
  • They use an OEM type stub with a built in cv joint.
  • We use big BMR Poly bushings.
  • They use smaller black no name bushings.
  • Ours bolts in with zero cutting, hacking, hammering or grinding.
  • They may have fixed that with their revised design.
  • We make our kit in house
  • They dont

Thats about all I could think of off the top of my head in 60 seconds

Give me a call if you have any questions.

Thanks

Sorry to be so blunt but what I laid out are the facts. I take great pride in our products and we take great strides in making sure that they are the top of the line..When you have a Lifetime warranty you have to design and make parts that don't break or you go out of business fast.

I look forward to talking to you.

Thanks
Chris

All the local guys run their stuff. On the rare occasion there's a problem, they fix it under warranty. It's pretty friggin cool that you can try to blow their rear end at the track and if you succeed.... they set you back up to try again on their dime.
