Default Which rear should i buy?

ok this wont be in the near future. i just want to be prepared for when i need it.

what rear will handle a daily driven 600+ hp car with a 200-300 shot on top of it(800-900rwhp total)? i have a moser 12 now but i dont think thats gonna cut it with a 6 speed.

If you already have the 12 bolt I would continue to use that. If it has a posi and lets go then you can upgrade to a spool or a locker to handle that kind of power.

I think you may have a little trouble with that much power being a daily driver. Most guys with that kind of power run full spools which arent great for DD. Im running a tru-trac in my midwest 9" that is working out great but im only making a little under 470rwhp and havent sprayed my 200 shot yet.

Either way I would step up to a 9", give Eric at Midwest a call. He makes very good quality stuff.
