Well... 9" here..
3000# and runs in the 8's..
Never have broke any parts..
Bent the housing when the car wrecked..
It started out as a Nodular 9" with a Daytona pinion support and back braced.. Moly tubes..
It now has a bolt thru Moser aluminum case, and has always had 35 spline M/W axles..
And always has had street gears too..
Never have broke a set of those..
But we don't do what Monte does either..
It's still a 900+ hp deal @ 3000#..
Monte didn't say everyone needed a 9".. A Dana is just as good for some things, and not as good for others..
Gear selection and simplicity makes the 9" a no brainer for me..
