Quote: Dana 60 all the way for your car Brad. What gear are you going to run? Only question if it was me would be Trac Loc or TrueTrac.
Actually considering a Detroit Locker more seriously than a TrueTrac. I'm finding mixed reviews of using a TrueTrac in drag applications, but I really don't know much else about them. If someone can provide more info on how well a TrueTrac does on the strip, I'm interested.
The specifics for my junk (not covered previously in this thread) are... - 3750+ # E-body w/ driver - 727 w/ 4500-flash 9" converter - Stock-stroke modified 440 - 275/60R15s DOT Drag Radials
The 8.75" I have now has... - OEM 742 case - 4.10s (which is the ratio I'd stick with) - Power-Lok (clutch-type) diff carrier - MW billet caps - Cheap back-brace on housing (too narrow to probably do much good)
Street car w/ best pass of 10.52 at 126+ (6.6_ at 102 in 1/8th) w/ a 1.45 60-ft. I know it pulls the wheels 4+" according to friends who watched the car launch, but nobody ever bothered to provide me photographic evidence.
The new engine should make another 40+ HP, so I'm expecting to be in the lower 10s w/ the rest of the combination (converter, gearing, etc.) staying the same.
Strictly from a budget perspective, the Dana 60 appears to be the more affordable.
