richmond or motive gear?
looking for a new gear set for my moser 12 bolt. mine was chewed up from a posi failure. I used to have a 4.10 not sure what brand came with moser. whats the best brand for serious abuse? I cannot go with a pro gear because this car is driven to car shows and cruise nights on occasion. is one brand any better than the other?

AAM gears for the 12B are no more.lol Everytime I see a nice resto come into the shop with a 12 bolt under it anxiety is high. We have tryed all brands of gears available for the 12B, depth is a bitch. AAM gears for the Chevys(unless unavailable), ford gears for the fords, and dana gears for the JCD vehicles. Perfect 9/10 times. Cheap gear = noise in a daily driver. Racecar who gives a .....

I only care about strength. my car is as loud as open headers with the mufflers on it. I prolly cant hear the gear whine anyway. lol.
I ordered a richmond. hopefully this one doesnt break. what kind of HP levels are the street gears good for? or 60fts are they good for? in the next few years the car may make 700hp and 60ft 1.30's. hope thats not too much to ask for a street gear.

Definitely go with Yukon. I've ran both Motives, and Richmonds, and my next set will be Yukons because these Richmonds are way too loud. Yukons seem to have the highest ratio of quiet to noisy setups.

Stick with Motive "blue box" stock replacements and you'll be fine. Every set I've done has been really silent, every set of "orange box" have had whine.

Honestly, in my experience in school and in the field, as long as you get a reputable brand name product, gear selection doesn't make any difference. No gear set "whines more than the other", it's all about setup. As long as you set up the rear end properly, you will have no issues.
