The 60 is more efficient.

Which is stronger ?? Now there is a good question. Id like to say the 9" due to it being a 3rd member design housing and not rear loaded like the 12b, 60 and others. You can put 40 spline axles in either one of them and they have been used in equal high horsepower applications with good results all around.

But which is stronger ?? That is a damn good question... Ill say its a draw.

The 9" pinion centerline is much lower than that of a rear loaded differential and many other third member designs.

The question is what kind of power are you expecting to make to even consider the question.

A Moser 9 inch will work just fine for you, and it is shipped just two days after the order is received. Bob
