By the time I pay for the wheels I may end up going with a buddies 9" to help keep some money in the bank. My wife is about to skin me already but is still supportive. Lols.

Can't wait till spring.

Did you ask the Winters tech how much power the aluminum center 9" can take and live??? I keep looking at the aluminum center with the black paint in their website, don't necessarily like the black, but with the aluminum smoothed a bit and powder coated a nice color might be just the ticket under my '57......

Dave,

I honestly cannot remember but Charles knew I had projected desire for 600 hp. I plan to stroke an LSX block to 427 cu in and run the LS3 rectangular port heads. Surprisingly the Championship quick change rear wasnt but $200 more than the 9" and Charles suggested asphalt circle track cars with up to 900 hp were using them. I imagine the difference (why you wouldn't want them in a drag car) is because their already under power where a drag car is dealing hard launches in the first 60'? Call Charles up. He's a really nice fella. The price he quoted was for the 9" on page 17 of their catalog (available online) in as cast finish, powder coat black (additional $71), polished and machined ( additional $120) , complete hub to hub with center section and their trac posi less axles. The 31 spline axles additional $375. Man that is not a bad price for a rear that looks that nice. I was and still am really impressed. I've been putting off calling them for two years because I really figured they were much higher.
