Default Rearend question for the 1,000+ hp cars

I'm getting to the point of building the rear end. I torn between biting the bullet and buying a 9" floater with the 40 spline or keep my current rearend and upgrade to 40 spline axles and spool. So i'm wondering what everyone is running and opinions? My setup is a moly steel round tube chassis. Guessing 2,700-2,800lbs race weight. Running a blown alcohol 408" ls1 with a bruno 4 speed jeffco transmission. Currently a S&W fab housing with 35 spline axles and detroit locker. I'd modify this housing but it's got 3" axle tubes and strange engineering says i need 3.25" axle tubes. Thanks

Try hitting up Eric @ Midwest Chassis(309-382-6252). Seeing as he makes his own rears, he would prob be a good person to talk to for info on this. Also, he sells the parts you would need to upgrade or he can build you a whole new rear and you can flip the one you have now.

Here is the Moser M9 floater rear, with many options at the bottom of the page. Bob
