The Moser 12-bolt in my car has seen more than its fair share of abuse. Its behind a T56, has 3.73 gears, (clutch type) posi, 31 spline axles, and support style rear cover. It is quiet and you kinda forget its there. I run dino based lube with a bottle of GM additive as per Moser's recommendations. My only complaint is the 4 short bolts that are used for the Torque Arm mount, they backed out at one point and tore up the Spohn mount, but aside from that the rear has performed flawlessly. I've dumped the clutch numerous times at 5000 rpm and above on ET-streets and have never had problem. The car as gone 1.7's in the 60 (not great by any means) and will trap at 119-121 +/-. I think proper gear set-up is absolutely crucial and a little luck can't hurt.

Good Luck with your situation
