The 9" has arguably proven to be the strongest and most durable aftermarket rear to be put into our fbods. If you mean traction control system then yes, several vendors offer the 9" with a 4chnl abs w/tcs for additional cost.

Two steetable rearends better, but way overkill- GM fullfloating 14 bolt, and Dana 60. They are also very friggin heavy, but sweet for hipo drrag cars and rock crawlers.I would run a 9" over a gm 12bolt given the choice

The Moser 9 inch can be had with the 4 channel (ABS and TCS) option, but not just ABS, which means in your case, you're in luck. $2,500.00 shipped with the ABS/TCS option. Bob

So what if someone had 1,500 RWHP and the car was a 100% street car that just did roll races from say 50-180mph?
What rear-end?

Maybe go to the track once to see what it'll do, but still not go for an all out HARD crazy launch on slicks. Just for curiousity.

Are you racing Supras by any chance?

I have 3.73 gears now, that would be too high I guess for 180mph. But wouldn't it get me there faster?

I would think any more gear and you would spin even at 50-70 mph on radials
A guy here in town has a brand new TH400 w/GV overdrive and a built Ford 9" rear. If I want it. The company that might be building the engine also has a tranny and rear-end shop that can build the TH400 and the 9" rear for the car. I was told I'd have cluth problems all the time with that much power and that an automatic is best for roll races with that much power.
