On the gears subject. The only way to regear 2011 and up is to either pick up a 2010 Raptor axle or wait a few months for our Dana 80 option....

Damn...

Why can’t we change gearing in our 12’s???

I didn’t think the axels changed , Ford just added the front torsen.

That was direct quote from SDHQJason.. He has been looking into this for me and finally said it was a no go on 2011 and up...

Randy's Ring and Pinion shows the same. The only thing they offer for '11 and newer is factory options.

What is the difference between the two? I know there has been some talk about they are different, but I have not heard what the specific difference is.

Hmmm... SVT did mention during the snoball500 visit that they had design work into the rear axle. But I would have thought it would have been the same for 10 and up...

If you haven't read the book The Driver by Alexander Roy give it a read. I think he still holds the coast to coast record and won the 2005 Gumball. Talks about a lot of logistics and planning. Large support team. Even used a plane for part of the race to scout police. It is a good read.

Bullrun and the $50,000 Bet | Gas Monkey Garage

"The Bullrun Rally has been described as the most glamorous and high profile “luxury lifestyle” automotive rally where up to a 100 cars embark on an epic seven-day rolling road-trip, partying in a different city every night.

I’ve won it twice. For me, it’s not about the glitz or glamor – it’s about driving how I live: fast and loud.

At Bullrun 2007 Dennis Collins and I broke the New York to LA Coast-to-Coast record held by David Heinz and David Yarborough set during the 1979 Cannonball Run. Here we are making a $50,000 bet that we’ll break the record."
