Put the 2X4s down and step away from the car. lol

Three good reasons to use a Dana:
A Dana is lighter than people think it is.
A Dana has a higher pinion center than a 9"; the 9" has one of the lowest pinion centers of all. When it comes to pinion center, lower is worse.
God uses a Dana.

Hey I'd love a laid out pro stock 9" from Mark Williams too.
Just dont have the champagne budget.
Hands down the Dana wins it PERIOD.

Dollar for doller the dana wins. 
thats true up to about 800hp+ after that the aftermarket 9-9.5s take over. SS/AH doesn't run dana's any more for a reason.

Thats funny right there. OK, you convinced me. Im going DANA 60. LOL!
I know of 2 people personally that switched to a DANA from a 8 3/4 and lost NOTHING in performance. Which coincides with much of what Ive read. I need to get ahold of DR. Diff and get a price and ask him some questions about options.
We lost nothing switching from a 8.75 to a Dana 60.
Good Luck,
Bill

 .... has this been proven the dana is only good to 800HP ... can you please post the test results 
read it again, says 800hp+. just ask some of the SS/AH guys. they were replacing ring and pinions on regular basis. theres a lot of other factors also. how many so called 800hp cars you see running 10s?

my dana was also lighter than the 8 3/4 I took out..... 8 3/4 + 11x3 drums + suregrip VS. dana with spool and discs and 1" shorter = dana was lighter 
with the same brakes? I bet not

tony you seem like a real nice guy but I get tired of people saying "they said" with no proof of anything! And is this the same guy thats busting on Wild Bill for his 780HP car with a 8 3/4 in it that runs 10.2x? just saying! and when I was at Ray Bartons about last august he said the only reason he runs the 9" is cause of gear selection... call him in ask 
well how are you supposed to record what people tell you? so I guess you can believe what you want. the dana is a great rear for the money but it has it's limits. the aftermarket 9-9.5s are race pieces not some truck rear. as you said better selection on everything gears etc.
