Default who makes the strongest gears? regardless of whine?

I'm looking for the strongest gears available. dont care if the gears whine, i cant hear it anyway with the exhaust on my car.

Bout the strongest gears i know of are the Richmond Drag race pro gears? Any out there stronger than that?

Pro series gears are soft so they don't break. They are NOT to even be considered to be ran on the street!

The US gears are the best. I'm running 4.56's in my 12 bolt.

they dont break because they are soft? how does that work? and why not drive them on the street?

Soft = less brittle, more give.

BUT...also only lasts for a few runs- then need replacement.

They are for race-only cars...and for people who can change gears every weekend.

Kind of like aluminum connecting rods. They weigh less, can take a ton of power, but deflect and need to get replaced very quickly.
