I went from a 8 3/4 with sure grip to a Dana with a spool and only gained 30 pounds.

As a side note the Dana is a more efficient axle. The ET difference is small.

I went from a 4.30 geared 8 3/4 to a 4.10 geared Strange S-60 and got quicker. This a pump gas stroked small block street/strip car. Real race cars may have different results.
