Quote: I wont read the whole thread, but its really silly to build anything beyond, say, 300 horse with a 8-3/4..

Note that I have never broke an 8-3/4 in my life...Because I wont run one in anything that has real power and/or a manual trans and tires that may hook...
Think about this...
The factory didnt feel safe putting 8-3/4's behind BONE STOCK 440-4v 4 speed cars. How much real power and torque do you think those made to the diff? If they had even a little faith, they would have used their 8-3/4 axle..
Again, it would be a different argument if this was 1985 and there were limited options, but why in Gods name would anyone want to run around with something with such a horrible and predictable failure rate when there are so many options available now.
