I think for a 10 or 11 second street/strip car like what you drive (someday...  ), it doesn't make a damned bit of difference with respect to ET. Pick one and go with it.

Are we bracket racers or professional racers. Why do you want to change gear sets. If you run low 8ths or faster run the 9 and keep a wad of money ready. The dana, easy set up for 4 to 8 hundred bucks unless you need new parts.Set the gears up right and make sure its straight and it will last for years with no upkeep and one thing less to worry about.Funny, we go to the track and guys are adjusting valves,charging the battery,changing jets,resetting the bars all kind of stupid stuff,why? Don't make it complicated!

Brad, once you see the pinion support spit out on the starting line from a Ford nine inch rear end you will never think of using a Ford type nine or nine and half inch rearend again   
$100 pinion support keeps that from happening

I didnt call it stupid stuff.. some times I'd spend
a Saturday and a Sunday just testing the 4-link..
that got me down to a 1.19 60'..and take most of a
day just doing jet changes ... I guess you are satisfied
with anything

No its a race car but the person that I quoted isnt
the OP... all I was trying to state was with testing
you can make the car run better and usually more consistent

Let's keep on track as I am interested in this also.
9 second car 3000 to 3400 lbs what would be cheaper to buy not build?
S Dana 60 or 9 inch?
Monty mentioned the pinion support for 100.00
Matt
I built my 9" for the Rampage.. its street/strip..
I have a total of $1100 into it.. that was a complete
new center with a posi(I think its a tru track or
the next step up.. I forget) and new gears and bearings..
$70 for the bearing ends.. I had the 2" X 3" tubing
(back brace) laying around the shop... I also had
all the ladder bar and shock brackets... I did make
the ladder bars and I had all the rod ends.. then
it was my time to shorten it and burn it together..
I had to buy axles and brakes but would have either way

that has been explained many times, depending on how much you can do. there are many cheap parts for the 9 available

I never have understood the Dana vs. 9" deal. It's like women driving SUV's. 40 years ago there wasn't a women in the United States driving a SUV. Then it became chic and now all women want to drive an SUV. 40 years ago there wasn't a 9" in any Mopar in the US. Now it's like a roller cam or a 400 GPH fuel pump, people feel like they won't be socially accepted if they don't have a 9". What a country. It's a Mopar. Put a Dana in it.

I dont understand the relationship of the mopar and
the dana... yes mopar used them.. along with MANY
other companies... dana wasnt a division of Chrysler
it was just a company that Chrysler BOUGHT rear ends
from
