If money is not an Issue get a Billingsley Fab 9". Thats what I got and they are Bad ***. You get the strength of a 9" but the weight of a 12 bolt. I had a Moser 9" before I had my fab and the quality of the fab 9" is 10 times better than the Moser.

I bought the Billy Fab Nine from them, it has an Aluminum Center Section, Lightweight Spool, 40 spline axles, 5/8 Wheel Studs

My 12 bolt with 4.10s doesn't whine at all. I guess I was one of the lucky ones.

My car is just a race car, but jay can build one for a street strip car. And yes a 9" will lose more power than the stock rear, and a 12 bolt. But with the 9" you wont have to worry about breaking it

I have a Moser 12 bolt that Jay Billingsly rebuilt. Mine is now quiet and has survived over 100 5500+ rpm launches. If I had to do this over again I would get the Billingsly Fab 9. I saw one the last time I was at his shop. It is a very high quality part.

Call Jay and talk with him. He can get Strange rears as well. I know he will help you make a wise choice.
