GMHTP -- 10 bolt rebuild

**pajeff02** · 06-21-2010, 06:21 PM

I was sort of shocked to open the new GMHTP (August 2010 issue) and see that they are rebuilding a 10 bolt for their STi Killer project car. They installed an Eaton LSD and Richmond 4.10 gears. Nice article, but not sure how long it'll last in a car that will see both track and road course duty. Their logic was that the 10 bolt is lighter, more efficient and a lot less costly than an upgrade. It also appears that they kept the stock c-clip setup and factory 28 spline axles. Just found this interesting...

what kind of horsepower are they planning on putting through that 10 bolt?

More than stock. I'd have to check my back issues to see what it was.

stay tuned for a future article on them rebuilding that one or swapping it out for a 9". Some people like to learn the hard way.

it is to be a road course car and not a drag car.
They are putting a crate LS6 in it with mild bolt on's I do believe.

The reason why they are calling it project STi killer is that they are making a road course car that can best an STi.
