GForce Engineering fully-fabricated 9” IRS With modified cradle

[Linda's Hell Cat]

I think we’ve all been trying to politely say you don’t need it, but here’s the thing —
From past experience, I’ve shared something I call paperwork marketing—it sounds appealing and is inexpensive to get. Do you happen to have any time slips from your friend when he had the G-force installed?

How long has this been out of his Hellcat? I’m willing to bet that if you ever decide you want it, he’ll probably still have them.

You will lose so much in Daily Driving!

Did you look closely at the picture?
There is actually more to this kit than I initially thought.

I am not sure why the photo only comes up as an attachment ?
Let me know if you can still view it or not. View attachment 174900

I think others will chime in and we can see what they say.

I just decided to be the one to say you don’t need to spend money on this now when you could put it toward something in the future that might be needed after getting more seat time.
Eventually you may want to Tune your RE, that will require adding parts. Or you may find you want the AAD parts.

Back in 2015, my husband, known as "Top Cat," aimed for his first run in the 9’s, but truthfully, he was chasing the 8’s. He couldn’t spend money fast enough. Thankfully, Josh at HHP, with his R&D and T&T approach, focused on making just a few changes and testing. My husband would buy parts and send them to HHP, and Bruce, who runs the race shop, would tell him, “We’re not installing that this week, John—you’re on the track!” That seat time mattered to him, even with his previous experience in a 2011 Mopar Drag Pak.

$3500 is certainly a good price for what’s in the picture. I see the AAD control arms and Gforce axles along with the differential. I assume the drive shaft is also a part of the package. The fact that it is already assembled means a simple cradle swap and you’re done. That would be some savings as far as labor goes. Downside could be that you are lowering your gear ratio to what will make 1st gear too short to work. Especially as you increase power. Look into what you need to know about launching in 2nd gear. And I will repeat this…. A 15” wheel/tire combination is 1000% better than a 17. I don’t care what kind of performance somebody got on a tight radial prep track with a 17. Real world… on the street and ordinary track surfaces, the 15 works when a 17 doesn’t.

I'm glad you knew about everything, but he still wants to daily Drive with his wife and probably more DD the Track. Do you think he should install things in stages. Racing 10's all that seems to me to be for lower 9's?
