9" newbie, purchase questions What am i looking for here for a street/ strip 9". A very long time ago carl@crp was my first inquire for a rear end he was awesome and very cool to deal with. At the time i was stuck on s60. Now i have been looking at 9" rears seriously. With the purchase finally getting close its time for me to make up my mind. Bombard me with knowledge please, im not going to.say ive ruled other possibilities out completely but im leaning torwards the good ole 9. The other day i saw a advertisement on fbody craiglist for trick chassis..... any experiences, reviews? I do want to go with a locker/ 28-32 splines were recommended to me due to street use and 3.90 gears.

I'd start off with being honest with your intentions. Power is one thing...sticking it is another. If you're dead set on a 9" that handles street and strip, either a FAB Moser or MWC with a Yukon gear set (personal pref) and Wavetrac.
If I were you....I'd "bombard" the search function or call Bob (BruteSpeed) or Eric (MWC). Lots of info based on the same question around here....daily...

Gears depend on your power level and cam selection. Don't go with a locker considering you're an M6, do a TrueTrack IMO - that's what I have and would use. Personally I'd go with the highest spline, but 31 will work for the street. Again all these depend on your power level which you have left out, so we need that for recommendations. A 35 spline Wavetrac will be your best bet if you can afford it and you get a limited lifetime warranty - will handle drag racing, road racing, everything you can throw at it and still have great street manners.
Bob @ Brute or Eric @ MWC are both good people to call and get information from. I'd do that.

Why a locker?

I went with the Moser M9 and Wavetrac. 35 spline axels with roller bearings. I choose all the options (back brace, etc.) so I would not out grow the rear. I'm NA noiw but plan to go turbo in the near future.
That being said for street/strip duty a well built 12 bolt or dana 60 can be a better choice for many situation.
Many people choose the 9 inch because they see serious racers using them so they think that is the best. Racers use them because it is easier to change gear ratio.
The 9 inch waist more energy than the 12 bolt or dana 60 due to the pinion being positioned lower on the ring gear. A well designed 12 bolt or dana 60 can handle the power you are talking about and might cost you less.
which ever you choose as long as you plan properly they all can handle lots of power.
Good Luck
