I have seen guys with 1000 HP use 12 bolts..They don't last long under them conditions though..

What's the weight on one of those complete? Or any weight you could offer like housing versus 9" aluminum center section housing or something...
And you can't beat the totsie rolls in the spring cups...
If i buy one they better some with it!

Really in a nut shell there just as you said, stonger, better design as far as abuse goes. In a street car to me its the way to go.
