Default Rear end decision for car?? please look! s60 vs.9 inch

Hey i am just considering the options here i am going to be buying a rear end here soon and i have been looking around at stranges rear ends.

My ?'s are what would be better the 9inch or the s60? i like the s60 but i am worried it might kill my rwhp cause i also am running a th-400, PLus the s60 comes with a spool and is cheaper which is good for me. just wondering everyones .02cents cause i never see that many people running a s60

MY mods are
385lt1
le3 heads/ le3 N2O cam
12:5:1
th-400 w/ transbrake
4K pro edge stall
2 1/2 chromoly DS
200 shot N2O

The 9" will be fine for your application. The sl60 is not necessary.

The S60 is overkill for most applications.... however the Strange rear ends fit excellent and offer a much better install then the Moser set-up. I am very happy with my S60 compared to my old Moser I had.

Hello, yes any of our torque arms will fit the s60. You have to do a little modification to the bracket with our track pack or xtreme torque arm.

yes the s60 does fit great compared to the moser but then again the moser doesn't take to much to make it fit. Overall its really what you want, personally i just think the 9 inch is usually your best bet.
