Rec'd this reply from Bill Cole at Aussie Locker today fwiw: "Thank you for your interest. We do not test for horsepower limits because the vast majority of our sales are for off road vehicles. The highest horsepower that we are aware of was in a mud truck that had 400Hp. That is not to...

I just submitted this on the contact form to Aussie Locker. I'll submit something similar to Moser. "I own a Whipple supercharged and intercooled 2006 Mustang GT manual trans with a 31 spline 8.8 differential. Whipple claims about 550hp for this blower kit. The car is fairly fast and just...

Thanks again. Digging around in YouTube, I found hundreds of wheelers with lunchbox lockers none describing power mods.. but only one muscle type app; a fox body with a vortech blown 331. It was an Aussie Locker. No vid of the car moving but no notes of any problems with the locker. Says the...

Excellent info. 30k miles is impressive. I know you said Toyota but rather than assume.. What approximate power level? Thank you. Looking at the stock photos for the Aussie and Spartan accompanying the 8.8 ads, it appears either of these 2 for 8.8 may use a single cross pin of similar...

Info appreciated. Do you know anyone who is running one? Reason for asking: When accelerating, the pin applies separating force to the halves engaging the dog side clutches or side gears or whatever you want to call them. So strength is certainly one consideration; force applied by the pin is...

Background is too lengthy. Maybe just skip to the bolded last lines: I rebuilt and regeared the 8.8 in my 2006 Mustang GT manual trans (whippled, etc). Everything was working fine... but there was some diff clutch chatter on tight turns. In the OEM build, that chatter had really ground the...

Mods, if you think this thread is better off somewhere else, feel free to move it. I stuck it in "pimpin'" since that seems to be the section for stereo related stuff. 2006 Ford Mustang GT. Originally Shaker 500 car, now with custom stereo but using 1 ohm Kicker door subs using Shaker 500...

1 ohm Kicker CompRT sub update - OEM door sub amp (Wicked, if you can figure out if they interchange from my year to yours, pm me your address and I'll mail them to ya'. Let me know if you want the rings as well.) Update on door subs: I'm amazed. I installed my door trim panels with the 1...

Wicked GT: Clarification needed: Are you talking about the OEM sub's mesh covering and rings... or? First off, it appears you have a later 'stang. Not sure if that matters but my car is a 2006.

Warning: Fleabay MDF spacers probably won't work A warning to make sure others don't think cheap-o MDF half inch spacer rings from eBay might work: The Shelby/Kicker plastic molded spacers are in fact a half inch thick. However, they have two sets of bolt holes on them that are NOT...

Sonic has a profile in Amazon and that showed they had 1 in stock. So I ordered that one and got another somewhere else also shipped free for the same price. I didn't get the extra 5% off buying thru Amazon I don't think but no biggie. Sonic shipped fast; the other place delayed a day or two...

BH2B, Do you think the Kicker 1 ohm subs totally removed the muddiness compared to the OEM Shaker 500 subs or do you think the Ford OEM amps might benefit from inline subsonic filters to knock out say 30hz and lower range? It's not that I think the 8" subs could ever reproduce 30hz and...

Good to know. Thank you for the info. I wrote down the polarity of the wires before cutting, so I'm set. Besides, I have the schematics handy.

BH2B, I ordered the 1 ohm subs, 1/2" mdf spacer rings and round Kicker plastic grilles. Trying to see if I can do this without picking on the Shelby kit and maybe get a decent price for that complete kit. I downloaded pdf manual on the CompRT 81 and 82 subs. I ordered the 81's as they were...
