S60 or 9"? I need a stronger rear end than my 12 bolt, which would be best for me, the S60 or 9"? I plan to have it narrowed a couple inches per side also. My car weighs about 3800-3900 with driver, makes about 750 RWHP. No trans brake for now, but I wanna leave the line as hard as possible. I think between the weight and power the 12 bolt would break. I'd like to put this in the high 9's, its got the MPH but will need a good short time.
Also this car is primarily used on the street. I go to the track just a few times a year. So no spool for me, and even the Detroit locker sounds a little rough for street use from what I've seen.
Thanks for any help!

You really cant go wrong with either they're both strong as an ox...just go with the one you can get the best price on. 
I went 9" because it was ALOT cheaper for me. (new housing/axles, used center w/ spool and 3.50's) less than $1200
