I plan on having an engine to but out somewhere around 550hp. I went to Moser web site and only saw 2 gear ratio listed for this rear end. I will not be drag racing i am building a pro-touring set-up. I will be replacing everything in the housing just using the stock housing. I am trying to figure out if i want to keep this or not.
