Yep, you're right, proved your point. Every Mopar in the world should have a Dana. Thread closed, problem solved, nothing to see here people, move along........LOL!!!! 
Ford 9" has it's place and obviously it's quite popular in SS and the factory race cars, among others, for many reasons. I'm just trying to take the edge off of Quicktree who thinks that EVERY BRAND of race car in the world should have a Ford 9", even the average bracket racer!

they do  where have you been? 9"s outnumber the dana 100-1 at just about any race track

I can see now these are much better than a junkyard Dana. And I like the ability to change the gear ratio at only $1000 a pop. Heck, I think I'll carry 2-3 to suit my needs. So for the initial investment of say roughly $1800 plus extra center sections ($3000) cause they're easy to swap I'll be all set, thanks.

Yes those junk yard rears with unknown mileage and if it was ever in a accident. This rear is all new fresh off a jig. But it's only your life your gambling with so no big deal if it locks up at 150 on the big end.
you would probably have to push him to get to 150

So for 1590.00 you can have a brand new 9 inch rear. New axle tubes, new gears, new yoke 1350 billet, new spool, new axles, all new bearings and bolts.

Ok lets start over. Junkyard Dana, in this case, free. Narrowed by me, new strange spool, axles, bearings, Motive gear and Dr Diff yoke. Total cost just over $800. Obviously I didn't bolt it in from the junk yard. And your correct it would need a push to go 150, hasn't been past 148.

Not that I could care less what any one runs for a rear end but I find it strange that the drag pack cars run a 9"... I run a 8 3/4 and a 9" in my cars.. its what I had to put in them

After initial setup on my Dana I can change gears in a half hour or less. Never had to run pro gears either. We ran a ring gear that had a broken pinion with a pinion from a broken gear, and ran them together for one season till we came across a used set to 50 bucks. Dana is just strong, don't under estimate it. Unless you run heads up racing why do want to have extra gear sets ready is beyond me.
Your faster than ANYONE I've seen(if your doing it
right).. I helped 2 guys on drag week (1 chevy and
1 mopar.. 12 bolt and a dana) change gears laying
on the ground.. its not fun... and both took WELL
over 2 hours... but I'm slow I guess(I dont do it
for a living)
