ummmm strange 9"+ anything else a waste of money
Build us a comparable 9" street/strip rear end right here in this thread and show us how it's done. I'm all ears.
who cares the guy asked for a rear for a 1200hp drag car. and it can be done cheap for a street strip. just as easy as a dana.
Money /= to where mouth is
Build it or stop running your mouth.

why don't you stop by all the ss/ah guys and see what they run and why.
I've used em both, nothing wrong with either, but as has been mentioned, it simply depends on your application/requirements/power levels/budget.
Pro racers likely use the 9" more exclusively :
i. they likely have sponsors who pay for a lot of it
ii. they change gearing more easily for different tunes/track
conditions/classes
iii. the aftermarket caters more thoroughly for the 9" for
different applications
Ain't nothing wrong with either choice - no need to flame each other about it

hey I agree,as you can see these guys attack anyone with a different opinion. how we get to a build a street/strip setup from a 1200hp race car I don't know. it has been explained numerous times by people who actually deal in high HP race cars. and dana 60 is not in the conversation. to advise someone to go that route is beyond me. it has been said before the dana has it's place just like all the rest.

I'm betting the "Pros" are using 9.5" rears.
Quicktree did they have reading comprehension when you were school, or did you make up your own questions for your tests? Nah.......the teacher probably came to you for advise on curriculum.  .
Once again the question was S-60 of M60, no mention of a 9". Don't be a troll!

you just proved my point again,obviously the OP asked a question,maybe he was unaware of his choices and to give him a narrow minded answer is not what this board is about. call it what ever you want. your attacks serve no purpose so who is the troll?

Other then more personal jabs, anybody got anything informative to add about S or M -60's?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I haven't done the research on the Dana in years, but if they are built right, either should work at 1200HP. The Dana is every bit as strong as the 9" IMO. The 9" is just easier to change gear sets with more options.
It's 727TF vs PG argument. If both are built with the right parts, they last.
thats not true, the tubes can not be supported on the 60, there lies your problem. ask Monte or AL or some of the other guys who actually know about them.

I've run both, and both have lived. In the old T/F cars that made way in excess of 1200 HP, some of those cars used Dana's. Your opinion isn't the only on that counts and I don't need to ask Monte or Al, I know from being at the track the last 45 years. Don't be such a Richard.

As usual you can't or won't back up your snide innuendos. I'd really like to know the parts list for a stout 9" because I am at a cross roads with one of my cars. And yes, the rear I build will be aimed at a high hp, heavy car. I keep asking myself why go Dana when the 9" stuff is pretty common.  Don't get mad just answer the question(s) without the attitude.

If you were going to start fresh today and did not plan on frequent gear ratio changes which would you choose? Pound for pound I think the Dana costs less? The benefit of the 9" is less weight? What am I missing?

I'm not a self professed expert on which to choose, but I have an opinion based on the years in the sport. You pretty much summed it up. If you're not concerned with weight and ease of gear changes, and it's a heavy car, I personally would opt for the Dana. Again, JMO. Monte, Al or others, may have another opinion on this.

you are full of crap, I explained how to build one on a budget. you can get a new housing for less than $500 to any size. you can get a complete center section that will probably handle anything you have for $1300 add the axles and you are at the same price as a NEW 60. go the used route and way less depending on how much you can do yourself. get on ebay and look, it's easy
